Benowa Broadwater Parklands

Benowa Broadwater Parklands is a dog walk in Ashmore, QLD, expect expansive green spaces, playgrounds, water play areas, and the Broadwater estuary, with opportunities for walking, running, and cycling.

The walk

Underfoot it is paved paths.

Lead rules

City of Gold Coast manages the route. This is a lead-on route: the leash stays on from the car park to the exit, with council signage the only exception if a section is ever re-signed.

Carry water for the dog: drinking points along walks like this are rarely signed, so plan as if there are none. Early morning and dusk are the comfortable windows in Ashmore for an on-lead stroll of this kind, particularly through the warmer months.

Worth knowing

There is enough dog-friendly hospitality around Ashmore to turn the walk into an outing; the suburb guide sorts out the options. Ashmore Village Park Loop is the other local walk worth comparing.
