Pet policy
Reported walking route: Paved path running alongside the Ross River, offering views of the water and surrounding bushland.. Confirm leash rules with council signage on site.
Ross River Parkway is a dog walk in Annandale, QLD, where the route offers continuous open space along both banks of the picturesque Ross River, with views of native riparian vegetation, mangrove and salt couch environments, and various recreational facilities.
The walk
Underfoot it is paved/shared pathways.
Lead rules
Townsville City Council manages the route. This is a lead-on route: the leash stays on from the car park to the exit, with council signage the only exception if a section is ever re-signed.
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 Annandale for an on-lead stroll of this kind, particularly through the warmer months.
Worth knowing
There is enough dog-friendly hospitality around Annandale to turn the walk into an outing; the suburb guide sorts out the options. Annandale Central Park is the other local walk worth comparing.
