Perth’s Best Enclosed Dog Parks
We’re sure your pups enjoy their regular walks, but you gotta let them run, sniff and explore, too! Fully-fenced dog parks let your pup play, learn new tricks and meet new furry friends, all while safely enclosed. We’re sure none of you need reminding, but dogs should only be off-lead if they are trained and under voice control, and you should always pick up after your dog. No one likes stepping in doggy doo doo!
Aveley Dog Adventure Park
With sections for large and small dogs, Aveley’s Dog Adventure Park has everything your dog needs for a great day out. Agility equipment is in both sections for your pup to learn some new tricks, and the large dog section is big enough to get some good runs in. Plus, both sections have shaded areas and water bubblers to let you and your pooch cool off on a warm day.

Whiteman Park Dog Park
Whiteman Park is a must-visit for any pup parents, with beautiful trails and parklands where you can take your dog on-leash. But, even better than that, they also have a doggy-dedicated area, where pups can adventure off-lead. Dogs are separated by size, and the obstacle course has even been painted in vibrant colours especially so your pooch can see! Open from 8.30am to 6.00pm daily, there’s also a water fountain on site.

Annie’s Landing Dog Park
Ellenbrook’s Annie’s Landing Dog Park has oodles of agility equipment to have your pup weaving, climbing and scampering all over the place – plus heaps and heaps of space to really tucker them out with some sprints. The large park has some shaded areas, but bear in mind it’s not divided by dog size, so it’s more suited to dogs that are socialised.

Edgar Griffith Dog Exercise Park
Take your pup on an adventure to Wanneroo’s Edgar Griffith Dog Exercise Park. As well as a grassed area (and an adjacent huge off-lead open space), there’s also plenty of sandpit to dig and explore, woodchips to sniff around in, rocks to climb, and heaps of agility equipment across the small dog and mixed size areas. With quite a few trees, there’s ample shade, plus picnic tables and water fountains to keep everyone comfy.

Dianella Dog Park
Dianella Dog Park has all the goodies you’d hope to find at a fenced dog park – like agility equipment, water fountains, shade and picnic tables and plenty of room – with the added benefit of being next to not only the Dianella Regional Open Space, but some vital inner-city bushland and quenda habitat. You can also walk your dog off-lead through here, although with the wildlife in proximity they must be under control.

John Dunn Memorial Dog Park Kelmscott
John Dunn Memorial Dog Park takes things to the next level with not one, not two, but three! sections, for small, medium and large dogs. Lush green grass, white sand just waiting to be dug, plenty of shade and water and some agility equipment to keep things interesting. Noice!

Koolbardi Dog Park
If you’re looking for fun for the whole family, Carlisle’s Koolbardi Dog Park has the goods! While the small and large dog areas aren’t quite as big as some of the other parks, both are grassed with plenty of agility equipment, plus there’s a huge sandpit in the large dog section. The real kicker is what else is on offer at the park, with a large open space, plus a playground, basketball and tennis courts and mini skate park – so you can tucker the kids out, too!

Yarra Vista Park
If you want to feel like you’re really amongst nature without travelling too far, Yarra Vista’s leafy dog park may be for you. There’s no grass, so if you can’t deal with a dusty doggo then it may not be for you – but we reckon pups will love rolling around with the leaves and dirt! Surrounded by plenty of trees and native vegetation, it’s a delightful spot to spend an afternoon, and both the small and large dog areas have agility equipment and water available.

Harmony Fields Maddington
Harmony Fields sounds like a pretty dreamy name, and your pup will be in heaven at this dog park. The park provides separate areas for small and large dogs, each with plenty of grass to run around, as well as agility equipment to test their skills. They also keep the lights on ’til 10pm, if you need to fit in some after-work exercise for your pooch. Plus, the brand new Harmony Fields All Abilities Playground is now open next door, so the whole family can spend the day playing.

Baldivis Enclosed Dog Park
The Baldivis Enclosed Dog Park is a classic, with all the fixtures you’d hope to find – like separate spaces for big and small dogs, space to run, sandpits to dig, water fountains and plenty of covered seating for humans. It doesn’t have much in the way of agility equipment, but it does have some huge logs for pups to climb and some tunnels to explore, and we reckon they’ll be having too much fun making friends to notice either way.

Peace Park Parmelia
Get your pup out of the house with a visit to Parmelia’s Peace Park. There are separate sections for dog sizes, and each has a large grassed area with some nifty agility equipment and tunnels. You’ll also find water bowls and seating in each, and plenty of shade to keep you cool.
