Wilson Park Fenced Dog Park

Wilson Park Fenced Dog Park is a dedicated, fully fenced off-leash exercise area within the broader Wilson Park reserve at 1 Kent Street, Wilson. Sitting right near the Kent Street Weir on the Canning River, it gives you a secure perimeter for off-leash play without straying into the surrounding bushland and river trails.

The rules. Maintain effective control and supervise your dog at all times. Clean up after your dog immediately, as bins are provided on-site. Keep dogs off playing fields and ovals when organised games or team practices are in progress. Do not allow dogs to chase birds or local wildlife, particularly near the native bushland. Public facilities, including toilets, generally open from 5:30 am to 8:30 pm, though the wider park space itself is often accessible around the clock.

What is there. The fenced perimeter is the key draw, offering a safe environment for off-leash running within a larger passive parkland setting. On-site amenities include unisex toilets, a drinking fountain, and parking. Passive lawns surround the enclosure, and you have direct access to the Kent Street Weir walking tracks for on-leash exercise outside the fence.

Getting there. The address is 1 Kent Street, Wilson WA 6107. Drive in via Kent Street and use the parking near the northern area of the park. If you are taking public transit, Transperth buses run near Kent Street, including routes 72 and 75. It is a short walk from major routes along Albany Highway.

Nearby with the dogs. If you want to combine your visit with a coffee or another secure run, the surrounding suburbs have solid options. Head to Kynd Coffee Co. in Cannington or Espressoul Coffee & Kitchen in Riverton for a post-walk coffee. For a different off-leash outing, the fenced enclosure at Olives Reserve Fenced Dog Park in Como or the nearby Railway Dog Park in Queens Park are both worth exploring.

Mid-week mornings and early afternoons are the quietest times for dogs that need space. Weekend mornings and weekday late afternoons after 4:00 pm bring the biggest crowds. While the fenced area is elevated, expect mud along the nearby riverbank paths after high tides or heavy rain. A reliable choice for owners wanting secure off-leash exercise near the Canning River.
