Features
Fully Fenced Seating Shade/Shelter Waste Bags Provided Water FountainPerrin Park in Toowong is a leafy, shaded off-leash spot tucked into a family recreation reserve. It’s perfect for smaller breeds or dogs who prefer a cooler, calmer space.
The off-leash section of Perrin Park covers a compact grassy area, securely fenced and under the canopy of large fig trees. Facilities include water bubblers, shaded seating, bins, and soft ground cover. It’s kept tidy and safe. The community vibe is strong—regulars from Toowong apartments and families at the nearby playground make it a friendly atmosphere. Typical visits are shorter, with dogs pottering about in the shade while owners enjoy cool benches. It’s not ideal for extended fetch, but it is excellent for relaxed socialising. Shade makes it a winner in Brisbane summers, while in winter it can feel cool and damp—bring a jacket for early mornings.
