Jellicoe Park

ParkPagewood

Jellicoe Park is a tucked-away Pagewood park with a massive oval and plenty of room for a walk or a kick of the ball. Dogs are welcome on-leash — it is not an authorised off-leash area — so it suits a steady stroll rather than off-leash play. There is a playground, drinking water, toilets and shade, making it comfortable for families. A spacious, leafy on-leash spot.

How does Dog Happiness decide if a venue is dog-friendly?

We check council regulations, venue websites and FAQ pages, and community reviews. Council and venue-operator sources carry the most weight. Where confirmed or clearly identified, we show the access status and any conditions that apply. Access information is based on the best evidence available and may not always reflect the latest changes.

Can venue dog policies change?

Yes. Venue policies can change at any time — especially at pubs, cafés, and other hospitality venues. A venue that was dog-friendly last month may have changed its policy. We update our information regularly, but we always recommend checking directly with the venue if you’re planning a special trip.
