Ridgehaven Park

Ridgehaven Park is a dog walk in Aroona, QLD, where the route features two playgrounds, exercise equipment, picnic facilities, shelters, and open spaces for activities, along with fenced dog park that has separate areas for small and large dogs and agility equipment.

The walk

Underfoot it is paved pathways and natural ground.

Lead rules

Sunshine Coast Regional Council 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 Aroona for an on-lead stroll of this kind, particularly through the warmer months.
