Boorabbin Picnic Ground Fenced Dog Park

The Boorabbin Picnic Ground fenced dog park sits inside Boorabbin Park on Woff Street, Wishart, and gives Brisbane southside owners the thing unfenced reserves cannot: a fully enclosed, double-gated space where a dog can be let off the lead with confidence. It is a practical, social park with good shade and a family-friendly complex around it.

The dog setup

Off-leash applies only inside the fenced enclosure; dogs must be leashed through the surrounding parkland and paths. Owners need to stay present and keep voice-command control, waste goes straight into the bins provided, and any dog showing aggression is expected to be removed immediately. Check the entry signage for timed restrictions or maintenance closures before you unleash.

The vibe

The enclosure is grassed with solid natural shade from surrounding trees and bench seating for owners. Water taps serve the wider park but supply inside the fenced area can be unreliable, so bring your own bowl and water. The wider Boorabbin Park complex earns its picnic-ground name with toilets, a playground, electric BBQs and picnic tables, all handy if the household is split between dogs and kids. The grass turns muddy after rain.

Pepsi: double gates mean you can walk a big dog in and out safely without anyone barging through an open fence line. Still pause and check the second gate latched behind you.

Getting there and parking

Boorabbin Park is reached via Woff Street, with parking next to the picnic ground and dog park. Bus routes along Logan Road leave a short residential walk to the entrance. The quietest visits are dry weekday mid-mornings; weekend mornings and the late weekday afternoon window after work draw the biggest packs.

Pair it with

If the enclosure is crowded, the Abbeville Street Park fenced dog park at Upper Mount Gravatt and the Holmead Park fenced dog park at Eight Mile Plains are both short drives. For a coffee afterwards, Deli Dakota in Mount Gravatt East is nearby.
