Blackman Park includes a dedicated fenced area for smaller dogs, creating a more controlled environment for play. The separate enclosure helps reduce the intensity of larger dog interactions, making it a useful option for smaller or more cautious dogs.

Dog rules

Off-leash area. Fully fenced Off-leash Dog Park. On open grass playing field areas when organised games are not in progress. Dogs must remain on leash in all other areas. Dogs are prohibited within 10 metres of children's play areas, within 10 metres of food areas, from bushland/wetlands/mangroves, school grounds, and childcare centres.

This park is wonderful and has many features: a large grassy area, a fenced dog park, and a playground for children. Both the kids and the dogs are very happy!

Today is our dog’s birthday, we took him to Blackman park. It’s a very good place to enjoy the weekend with your little puppy, spent time with your family or your friends. Blackman park is a well maintained park. It’s covered by all ages activities and you can explore around the park. Tennis, table tennis, basketball court, bushwalking, playground etc. lots of parking spots. Easy parking.

Quaint park in an oasis of a thickly wooded valley. Great sports amenities and a surprisingly expansive play park for kids of all ages. A surprising find but a worthwhile one if you’re in the area. Oh and here’s a lizard photo i took :)
