Manning Park Fenced Dog Park

Great friendly local people my standard poodle loves it to interact with other doggies and gets her out for a walk as she's excited to leave everytime

The biggest issue with this dog park used to be that the water facility was located outside the fence. But after that was resolved, it has become the best dog park for both me and my dog. It would be even better if there were stones laid around the water area to prevent the ground from getting muddy. Sometimes there’s too much dog poop left around the park because some people don’t clean up after their pets — I hope this gets better with more responsible behavior.

Large fenced off leash area. Trees scattered throughout. Undercover area with x2 benches and x1 picnic table. Sandstone seats scattered throughout park. Drinking fountain outside of fenced area. No toilets available.

Really appreciate finally having a leash free dog park close to home as we used to have to travel to Speers point Park for an off leash area. Would be great if there was a dispenser with doggy bags inside like other dog parks have and also some water amenities inside the park for dogs just to make it easier for people with multiple dogs as the bubbler is outside. There is plenty of shade and seating . Perhaps in future some more areas for the dogs to explore would be fun perhaps a little agility/obstacle area. Overall a nice large area for dogs to run and play. Please keep in mind if you do have a large dog that likes to jump fences the fences only short and not as high as most other parks. Also if you have a very small dog there are sections where they can get out. My Chi seems to escape every time from under the double gates that they use to allow trucks to come in and water.

Fully fenced dog park now open (Nov 2022). Dog park has some trees for shade, benches, a bubbler and a dog bubbler (would be better if there was a dog bubbler/bowl inside the park, as having to take the dog out on a lead is a bit annoying). There is also a covered over seating area. The concrete path to the dog park is still under construction. Wish the gates had springs on them too so they automatically closed, but that's a minor issue. Considering the closest dog park used to be Huntlee, very happy this now exists.
