Buxton Park Fenced Dog Park

Buxton Park Fenced Dog Park sits on Buxton Avenue inside The Retreat at Yarrabilba, offering a fully fenced, grassy off-leash area with separate enclosed sections for large and small dogs. That separation is the main draw: you can work on recall or let your dog stretch out without managing size mismatches.

The rules. Dogs must be supervised at all times. Clean up using the provided waste bags and bins, and if your dog shows aggression, remove them immediately. The double-gate entry matters - check that each gate closes behind you before moving through. Off-leash only applies inside the fence.

What's there. Two fenced sections sized for large and small dogs, both on grass. Sheltered seating gives owners a spot to wait out hot or drizzly weather. Water stations are on-site, and waste bags and bins are provided so there's no excuse for leaving anything behind.

Getting there. Turn off Larimar Avenue (which runs off Yarrabilba Drive) onto Buxton Avenue. Parking is ample near the adjacent playground facilities. Local walking paths connect to the park, so you can add a lead walk either side of the off-leash session.

Nearby with the dogs. For an on-leash stretch, the Logan Village to Yarrabilba Rail Trail connects directly into Yarrabilba and pairs well with a park visit. If you want a sit-down coffee afterwards, Cornerstone Cafe in Jimboomba is a short drive.

When to go. Early morning and late afternoon are peak periods as locals finish work. Mid-morning to early afternoon is quieter. The small dog section fills faster than the large dog side, so time your visit around midday if your dog prefers room to move.
