Pet policy
Dogs on lead in the park; the nearest off-lead space is Plantation Park in Ayr (Burdekin Shire Council).
Apex Park sits in the middle of Ayr beside the Burdekin Aquatic Centre, a green, shaded patch of lawn for an easy on-lead lap with the dog.
Lead rules
Burdekin Shire Council requires dogs to be on a lead in public parks unless a sign marks an off-lead area. Apex Park is an on-lead space.
The walk
Paths are concrete and bitumen through turf and shaded lawns, with the pool and civic buildings close by. It is a short circuit rather than a long walk.
Make a day of it
For a proper off-lead run, head to Plantation Park Off Leash Dog Park. For a longer walk, the Burdekin River Walk is also in Ayr.
When to go
North Queensland heat makes early morning or late afternoon the time to go. Bring water for the dog and use the shade.
