Pet policy
Dogs on lead across the park and at least 5 m from playground equipment (City of Albany).
McGonnell Park is an open grassy reserve in Bayonet Head, framed by Bayonet Head Road, Evans Road, Purdie Road and Sinclair Street. Walk it with your dog on lead under City of Albany rules.
Lead rules
Keep dogs on lead across the park and at least 5 metres from the playground equipment. Check the signs on arrival, as the City has looked at dog exercise areas in this part of Albany.
The walk
Mown lawns and suburban trees make for a flat, easy circuit, with shade in pockets and the rest open to the sun. Park on the quiet surrounding streets.
There is no dog water on site, so bring a bowl and bags.
Make a day of it
Stop at Ruff Morning for a coffee, or take on a longer walk at Albany Heritage Park.
Who it suits
Locals after a calm, flat neighbourhood loop.
