Leatherback Park

Leatherback Park is a dog walk in Alkimos, WA, where the route features timber play space, small turf kickabout space, and shaded picnic settings, with Norfolk Pines lining Leatherback Boulevard towards the beach.

The walk

Underfoot it is paved paths and grassed areas.

Off-lead rules

City of Wanneroo manages the route. Off-lead exercise is allowed in the signed areas of Leatherback Park, with the usual expectation that the lead comes back on near roads, picnic zones and other users.

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

Worth knowing

There is enough dog-friendly hospitality around Alkimos to turn the walk into an outing; the suburb guide sorts out the options.
