Swan View Fenced Dog Park

Swan View Fenced Dog Park sits on Harold Road in Swan View, WA, offering large, open, shaded green spaces where dogs are frequently walked off-leash. The drawcard is straightforward: a fenced area combined with expansive grass for running, all within a shared community park that also hosts a family playground. If your dog has solid recall and you don't mind mixing with kids and families, it is a practical local option.

The rules. Dogs are walked off-leash on the grass areas but should be under voice control at all times. Owners must pick up after their dogs. Because the playground draws children and families, this is a shared space rather than a dog-exclusive zone, so be mindful of non-dog users.

What's there. Wide open grassy areas suited to fetch and running, plenty of trees for shade, and several walking pathways including routes through natural bush areas. The playground has a sand play area, slide, swing, and net. Other facilities include a basketball court, cricket lane, picnic sets, and ample parking. A coffee van is sometimes present, according to visitor reports.

Getting there. The park is on Harold Road, accessible via Swan View Road, with ample parking on site. Local Transperth bus routes run along nearby main roads such as Talbot Road. The park is open 24 hours.

When to go. Tuesday and Thursday evenings are the busiest times. Early mornings are generally quiet and well-suited to calm off-leash walking, and Saturday nights tend to be quieter as well. For a low-stress run, aim for an early weekday start.
