Location of dog exercise areas

Find out about dog exercise areas in the Shire, including dog-friendly beaches, parks and reserves where you can walk your dog off lead. View locations below or on our interactive dog exercise area map.

In public spaces, dogs must be on a lead at all times unless they are in a designated dog exercise area. In these areas, dogs can be off lead but must remain under effective control. Penalties apply for non-compliance.

Nippers Oval is a shared space. Dogs can be exercised there when the oval is not being used for sport. To check availability, contact or visit the Margaret River Recreation Centre.
