St Ives Showground Fenced Dog Park
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.
