Pet policy
On lead at all times on the walking tracks; dogs are not allowed in the East Shores Water Play Park or the playgrounds.
This waterfront walk links East Shores Parklands in Gladstone Central with Spinnaker Park in Callemondah, with views over Gladstone Harbour. Dogs are welcome on a lead.
Lead rules
Gladstone Ports Corporation owns and manages these parklands, rather than the local council. Dogs must be on a lead at all times on the walking tracks.
They are not allowed in the East Shores Water Play Park or in the playgrounds.
The walk
The tracks are sealed multi-use paths, so the going is easy. Along the way you take in the harbour, the working port and local wetlands.
Max: Multi-use path, so expect bikes. Give the water play park a wide berth, as dogs are not allowed in.
Make a day of it
Grounded Society in South Gladstone is a good place to finish with a coffee.
Suits dogs who walk well on a lead and owners who enjoy a working harbour view. Bring water for the dog.
