Col Bennet Park

Col Bennet Park is a dog walk in Algester, QLD, where the route is community green space with playgrounds, outdoor fitness equipment, basketball half-courts, and open fields, with shared pedestrian/cyclist network running through it.

The walk

Underfoot it is paved paths and open green space.

Lead rules

Brisbane City Council manages the route. Leash rules change along the way: some sections are lead-on, others are signed for off-lead play. The signage at each section is the authority, so treat the first visit as a scouting run and let the signs set the pace.

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 Algester for an on-lead stroll of this kind, particularly through the warmer months.

Worth knowing

The Algester suburb guide lists what else is around for the dog. Endiandra Street Park is the other local walk worth comparing.
