Dog parks – places where you can walk your dog off-leash, are great places to take your dog for some exercise and socialisation.
Dogs are social animals and enjoy the company of others, dog parks provide a great environment for you and your dog to meet other people and let your dogs play in a controlled environment.
Before taking your dog to a dog park you should ensure you dog is used to meeting other dogs and will listen to your commands and recall. Be aware that not all owners are so thoughtful and some dogs may not be so used to meeting others, always approach with caution and keep a watchful eye.
There are a number of off leash parks in the Manly area:
- Seaforth Oval
- Tania Park
- North Harbour Reserve
- LM Graham Reserve
- Manly Cemetery
- Manly Lagoon Park
Remember you must make sure your dog is under control, doesn’t annoy or attack anybody or anything else and always clean up after it. Your dog must stay at least 10 metres away from children’s play areas, BBQ’s and picnic areas.
