Orana Park has a fenced off-leash area within a larger, well-equipped reserve. The undercover seating is useful in hot or wet weather, and the dog area has a sociable local feel. Beyond the fenced section there are walking paths, BBQ facilities, open grass and playground facilities, so it can work for more than just a quick dog run.
Council/Trust-designated off-leash area at Orana Park. Dogs may exercise off-leash within the signposted off-leash area under effective control (voice command); on-leash elsewhere in the reserve.
Good off-leash dog park area with good people and dogs. Great place to socialize and plenty of cafes within 1km proximity. Council should include poop bags and maintain the park better especially the duck pond area. There’s poop everywhere and some areas stink terribly.
Large maintained park with plenty of under cover seating. Tennis courts, off leash dog area. Playground, BBQ, large grasses areas and toilets are regularly locked. Onsite carpark, Tennis courts are to be hired in advance.
Nice big park but pls avoid in spring. I got attacked while walking with pram by magpie. Local GP mentioned some locals had stitches from magpie attack.
