A 15-hectare reserve on a former lava reef and landfill at Point Chevalier, with a large fenced off-leash dog area and coastal paths overlooking the Waitemata Harbour. The council describes it as one of the city's premier dog destinations, with open fields, long grass and a muddy estuary.
A big, fenced off-leash area, which is rare in Auckland, safe for dogs still learning to run free, with harbour views.
The council lists Meola Reef as a 15-hectare reserve with a large fenced off-leash area, with the adjacent area on a lead. It is often boggy in winter, so boots are advisable, and parking fills at peak times. Council rules require dogs to be under control, owners to carry a lead and everyone to clean up. Opening hours are not published, so the hours field is left blank.
The pet policy above is summarised from the venue’s own published information and cross-checked against public listings. Policies change without notice anyway, so confirm the current one with the venue before you travel, and keep your dog leashed anywhere that is not a signed off-leash area. Read the full disclaimer.
