Pet policy

On lead on the paths and general park areas; off-lead inside the fenced dog exercise area with agility gear (City of Gold Coast).

Ormeau Ridge Park, in Ormeau Hills, pairs an on-lead path loop with a fully fenced off-lead enclosure that has its own agility equipment. You can do a lap with the dog on lead, then let them loose where it is safe.

Leads and the off-lead area

The City of Gold Coast requires dogs on a lead in the general park areas and on the paths. Inside the fenced dog exercise area they can run free and try the agility gear.

The walk

Concrete paths wind past open grass, the playground and native plantings, with outlooks over the suburban valley from higher ground.

Bins sit near the main entries and along the paths. Bring water for the dog to be safe.

Getting started

Park on the street around the entries on Terania Drive and Circuit Park.

Nearby in Ormeau, KOVI Cafe is an easy coffee stop.

The fence makes it a good pick for dogs still working on recall, and for owners who want a secure run after a short walk. Early mornings are coolest on the open grass.
