The sports and recreation reserve just off the town centre, which doubles as Queenstown's most central off-leash dog exercise area when sporting events aren't running. Wide open grass gives dogs a safe zoomie zone minutes from the mall.
The easiest legal off-lead run in central Queenstown, handy before or after a lakeside cafe stop.
Per QLDC's Dog Control Policy, dogs may be off leash in designated reserves - check signs and the QLDC dog map, as organised events temporarily require leashes. Hours are not published.
The pet policy above is summarised from the venue’s own published information and cross-checked against public listings. Last checked: against the source on . 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.
