Springwood Dog Park (small and large)

Springwood Dog Park sits at 73 Cinderella Drive within the broader Springwood Park precinct in Springwood, QLD. Its defining feature is the separation of fenced, gated areas for small and large dogs, giving owners a controlled environment for off-leash exercise without mixing sizes if they prefer not to.

The rules. Off-leash access applies only inside the fenced, gated enclosures. Owners must maintain voice control and supervise their dogs at all times. Dogs should be vaccinated and well-behaved around other animals. Free doggy doo-bags are provided on-site, and owners are required to clean up after their pets. Note that broken gates have been reported in the past, so it is worth checking latches and closures before letting your dog run.

What's there. Separate fenced areas for small and large dogs form the core layout. You will find some shaded spots, basic seating near the enclosures, doggy bag dispensers, and bins. Bins can fill quickly during busy periods, so be prepared to carry waste out if needed. The park is wheelchair accessible, with accessible parking available on-site. Terrain is grassy, though maintenance has been described as inconsistent and the ground can get muddy after heavy rainfall.

Getting there. The park sits directly off Cinderella Drive, with straightforward access from the Pacific Highway. The "Cinderella Dr at Springwood Park" bus stop is nearby for public transport users. The Springwood Park 'n' Ride at Baker Street is also close by if you need additional parking or transit options.

Nearby with the dogs. For a coffee after your visit, Roundabout Espresso and Pour First are both in Springwood. If you want an alternative fenced off-leash spot, Bangalla Park Fenced Dog Park is another local option.

When to go. Sunday mornings, late nights on Monday and Wednesday, and Friday afternoons are the quietest windows. Sunday evenings and Tuesday afternoons pull the biggest crowds. Weekday mornings or early afternoons are the sweet spot if you want space and fewer dogs. Avoid going straight after heavy rain, as the grass can be muddy and footing unreliable.
