Chevron Island Park

Right on Thomas Drive, Chevron Island Park pairs river views across to the Gold Coast high-rises with a signed off-leash exercise area for dogs.

Leads and the off-leash area

City of Gold Coast manages the park. Dogs can run free inside the signed off-leash exercise area.

On the general walking paths, keep them on a lead, and keep them out of the children's playground altogether.

The walk

Paved concrete and asphalt paths cross open grass beside the river. The views over the water to the high-rise skyline are the reason to linger.

Pepsi: Run first in the off-leash area, then a slow lead walk by the river to cool down. Bring water.

Pair it with

Castaway Coffee Bar and Cafe Alfons are both nearby for a coffee afterwards.

Who it suits

Handy for visitors staying on the island or nearby who need a proper run for the dog without driving anywhere.
