Gaiarine Gardens Off Leash Area

Gaiarine Gardens is a charming, fully fenced off‑leash dog park in Pagewood, located at the corner of Ocean and Banksia Streets. With its peaceful, garden-style layout, it’s a beautiful local escape that blends safety and aesthetics, making it a joy for dogs and their owners alike.

Inside the secure perimeter, dogs can run, play, and socialise freely without worry. Mature trees provide dappled shade, while thoughtfully placed seating and a welcoming garden entrance give the space a serene, park-like feel. A reliable water bubbler and well‑maintained seating make it easy for owners to stay comfortable while supervising their pups. The proximity to a children’s playspace offers extra value for families who want to let kids and dogs alike enjoy the outdoors. Street parking and nearby cafes add further convenience.

Because it’s fully enclosed and thoughtfully designed, Gaiarine Gardens is ideal for small or shy dogs, puppies in training, or any pup getting used to off-leash freedom in a calm, contained setting.

Gaiarine Gardens is managed by Bayside Council. You can view its location alongside all other council-managed off-leash areas on the map below.

• You must clean up after your dog at all times
• You must keep your dog on a leash when entering or exiting the designated off-leash area.
