Features
Fully Fenced Seating Shade/Shelter Waste Bags Provided Water FountainOrleigh Park’s riverside dog park in West End is a shady, social hub perfect for inner-city residents. Its river views and cooling breezes make it ideal for hot Brisbane afternoons.
Nestled on the banks of the Brisbane River, Orleigh Park Dog Park is a securely fenced grassy area under a canopy of mature trees. The area spans about 1 hectare, offering plenty of room for running without feeling overwhelming. Facilities include water taps, shaded seating, bins, and waste bags. The grass is maintained, and the fence is sturdy. West End locals frequent this park daily, making it one of the most social off-leash areas in the city fringe. Weekend afternoons are especially lively. Dogs typically enjoy mingling in groups while owners relax under the shaded benches, chatting with neighbours. Best in summer for shade and breezes; winter mornings can be chilly by the river but pleasant by mid-morning.
