Peridot Park

Peridot Park is a dog walk in Banksia Grove, WA, where you can expect to see native plants and bushland, with some areas featuring playgrounds and open grassy spaces.

The walk

Underfoot it is paved paths and natural bushland trails.

Lead rules

City of Wanneroo 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 Banksia Grove for an on-lead stroll of this kind, particularly through the warmer months.

Worth knowing

There is enough dog-friendly hospitality around Banksia Grove to turn the walk into an outing; the suburb guide sorts out the options. Lake Adams Bush Trail is the other local walk worth comparing.
