Dog Recreation Area - Large Dogs

Dog Recreation Area - Large Dogs sits in Perrin Park on the corner of Josling Street and Birdwood Terrace in Toowong, a fully fenced off-leash run set aside specifically for bigger dogs, with a separate small dog area alongside it.

The rules. This section is for larger dogs only, so keep an eye on the double-gate entries and make sure both are secure before letting your dog off-leash. Voice control still applies even inside the fence, and reactive dogs should stay leashed or be walked elsewhere.

What's there. Open grass, a sand patch for digging, undercover seating for owners, and water troughs. Public restrooms are nearby in the wider park, and there is lighting for early morning or evening visits.

Getting there. On-street parking runs along Josling Street. Several Moggill Road bus routes stop a short walk from the park, and it is an easy walk from the surrounding Toowong and Auchenflower streets.

Nearby with the dogs. Cafes along Moggill Road have outdoor seating that welcomes dogs, and Toowong Villas on Ascog Terrace offers pet-friendly rooms on request for anyone staying nearby.

Sunday and Tuesday afternoons are the busiest. If your dog prefers a quieter run, weekday mornings or Wednesday evenings are the better bet.
