St Ives Showground offers multiple fenced off-leash areas, allowing dogs to move between spaces depending on crowd levels or comfort. The surrounding bushland adds variety to the environment, making it easy to extend the visit beyond the fenced areas. It works well for both active play and longer, more exploratory outings.
Fenced off-leash dog exercise area. Dogs permitted off-leash at all times within the fenced area. Dogs must be under effective control without a leash. Maximum 4 dogs per person. Keep dogs 10 metres away from playgrounds and food areas. Dog owners must remove all dog faeces — $275 fine applies.

This area is used for training so you might need to book in advance if you visit during the week. Personally I think the oval is a better place if you want your dog to play and interact with other puppies , this section is more fore training only .
Great dog park at St Ives Showground. Lots of space to run around and play for your dog! Fully enclosed so your dog is safe off leash. Highly recommended.
Great enclosed space. A few puddles after the rain which my white dog enjoyed lying in… I was not as thrilled.
