Loffs Road Fenced Dog Park

Loffs Road Fenced Dog Park is a large, open-grassed off-leash area in Westlake with mature trees for shade and a strong local following, the kind of park where you will likely bump into the same regulars every visit.

The rules. Dogs must be under effective control while off-leash, in line with Brisbane City Council's off-leash park rules. Owners need to stay with their dogs at all times, clean up promptly, and leash and remove any dog showing aggression. The fencing has self-closing gates, but keep an eye out for digging near the fence line.

What's there. Expect water bowls or a fountain, basic agility equipment, and covered seating for owners. Parking is on-street or in designated spots along Loffs Road.

Getting there. The park is at 399 Loffs Road, Westlake, easiest to reach via the Centenary Motorway (M5) using the Sinnamon Park or Jindalee exit. Bus stops on Riverhills Road connect to TransLink services, followed by a short walk.

Nearby with the dogs. Dedicated pet-friendly hotels are limited right in Westlake, so most people head to Jindalee or Mount Ommaney for pet-friendly stays. For a coffee, dog-friendly cafes further afield around Mount Gravatt and MacGregor run their own dog menus, though both are a drive rather than a walk.

The ground turns muddy quickly after rain, so a towel in the car is worth it. Mid-morning or early weekday afternoons are the calmest times to visit.
