The Local Parklakes

The Local Parklakes is a relaxed neighbourhood cafe and bar on Parklakes Drive in Bli Bli, next to the Parklakes Wetlands walking path. It's a genuine local hangout for coffee, brunch and a drink, and it welcomes dogs in its outdoor seating.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor courtyard and seating area, not inside the dining room, which is standard for a food venue. Keep your dog on a short lead and settled under the table. Water bowls are typically out for visiting dogs, and staff are used to canine regulars.

Good to know. It's known locally as a family-friendly, community spot with solid breakfast and lunch, local beer and wine, and a playground close by for kids. The wetlands walk right next door makes it an easy stop before or after a dog walk.

Getting there. The venue is at 125 Parklakes Drive, Bli Bli, with on-street parking nearby and flat, easy access from the footpath.

Nearby with the dogs. Parklakes Wetlands is a popular on-lead walking track right beside the cafe, and Parklakes Parklands gives more room to stretch legs before you sit down.

Confirm current outdoor seating and any lead rules at the table when you arrive, policies can shift with the season or staffing on the day.
