Richard Podmore Reserve Fenced Dog Park
Richard Podmore Reserve is a fully fenced off-leash park with a double-gated entry that adds a layer of security. The park has a secluded, almost tucked-away feel — it's quiet and serene compared to busier suburban dog parks. There's agility equipment, a water fountain, and waste bag dispensers. The bin is at the entrance only, so plan accordingly if you're further into the park.

What people say
This is a very spacious dog park with agility equipment and a water fountain. There is a bin and plastic bag dispenser by the main gate. The only issue is that there is no fence to divide the small or big dogs so there's a high chance of a dog fight if you don't watch your fur baby carefully while they're off leash. Some of the other dogs are reactive / aggressive and their owners still allow them off leash. There are no toilets for humans. There's two tables, and a few benches.
Average dog park, great size but not much amenities. Best thing about this park is the great dogs and owners. Really friendly people and a great little dog community here.
It's a great place to take your dog to and let them socialize with other off leash dogs. A very big and long enclosed area with a few dog training obstacles. 95% of dogs that you meet here are friendly and play well with others. A Great Place For The POOCH!!
This park is fully fenced and very serene and secluded. When you enter, it is through a double gate which is great! One bin at the entrance so be sure to bring your bags back to the front. Even in the pouring rain there were nice grassy patches and muddy areas my two dogs loved. Successfully got the two into the agility course as well! There are a few park benches to sit on surrounded by huge trees and more space than expected. There is also a drinking tap and dog tap. Really glad to find this spot!
Great large fenced park for the doggies! Whilst park needs some extra TLC like, we are here twice a day regardless ! Great people to chat to in the morning and afternoon - nice community feel !
