amazing park for dogs off lead and on
The best dog park we have been to! Dog paradise! There were a number of fully fenced sections, many laid out in a row so it was possible to do a big walk through the different sections. There was also an area with a creek for the dogs to play and swim! It is possible to spend hours here. Plenty of shaded areas and picnic tables. There is a separate area for small dogs and a separate section for dog agility.
Best we’ve seen yet! Amazing!
Great secure open and closed off spaces, training camps and rivers and a pond for your furrbabies to relax in and even meet other furry friends - like Tyson and Pippa who's now besties.

This is an amazing park for not only our fur children, but family in general. My dogs know it as "paradise park". They love swimming in the river and mee ting other doggies. I would say this is the best dog park in NZ.
Jax had his first visit today. Had a wonderful time.
Awesome free run space and also the side walking track with the river
