Dog Exercise Areas
Find out where all the cool canines are heading for a run and play!
For the energetic pups, perhaps a trip to a beach for dogs may be just the thing. Or if your pooch is the sociable type, why not take them to the View Road Dog enclosure to mingle with their mates. If your pooch likes walking with their human (on a lead), perhaps a meander on the walking track at Romaine Reserve may be the ideal spot.
Please remember - these exercise areas are there for everyone, so be considerate. If your dog gets up to mischief by barking excessively or is aggressive in any way, take them home. And don’t forget to clean up after your dog. Plastic bags are provided via a dispenser at some locations for your convenience.
It's also important to remember that many of our beaches are home to endangered and protected bird species, so please be mindful of their habitat while enjoying the beach with your furry companion.
