Parkwood East Reserve

Parkwood East Reserve is a dog walk in Arundel, QLD, where you can see open spaces, waterways, and natural bushland, with opportunities for bird watching in wetlands and around large hollow trees.

The walk

Underfoot it is hard surface paths, unpaved, gravel, asphalt, paved.

Lead rules

City of Gold Coast 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 Arundel for an on-lead stroll of this kind, particularly through the warmer months.

Worth knowing

The Arundel suburb guide lists what else is around for the dog. Coombabah Lakelands Conservation Area is the other local walk worth comparing.
