Here's a guide to the best dog parks in the Northern Territory. As you would expect they are focused around Darwin/Palmerston with Alice Springs and Katherine also having a fenced dog park.

Always be cautious of crocodile risk, especially near lagoons, rivers, and lakes in the Top End and heat awareness, especially in central Australia locations such as Alice Springs. Never leave your dog in a car. Temperatures can become lethal very quickly.

The ultimate dog park in NT is the huge Marlow Lagoon Fenced Dog Park which has a lagoon with swimming opportunities (crocodile traps are placed in the lagoon area to manage wildlife risk), separate areas for small and timid dogs, three different agility courses and plenty of seating and shade. The reserve has a playground, toilets, picnic facilities and BBQs.

You can use our Find a Dog Park Search to find an off leash dog park (fenced, unfenced or beach) within a suburb or up to a 10km radius of a suburb or town. You can fine-tune your search by choosing features like fenced, beach, small-dog area, agility course, shade or toilets.

These are our picks for the best dog off leash parks in the Northern Territory.
