Follow the information and links below to find off-leash areas for dogs across Darwin and Regional Northern Territory.

If you plan to visit an off-leash park or beach, it is important that you can maintain control of your dog. You must be able to recall your dog promptly and place it back on a leash if the need arises.

The following behaviours are typically enforced by all councils:

• Always walk your dog on leash, unless in a designated off leash area.
  
• Always observe the on-leash, off-leash and dog-free areas and times (certain areas only permit off-leash dogs during specific hours)
  
• Areas like playgrounds, sports grounds (when sport is being played), or environmentally sensitive zones often prohibit off-leash activity.
  
• Always carry a leash, even in an off-leash park or beach.
  
• Bring a plastic bag with you and pick up after your dog.
  
• Keep your dog close and within sight at off-leash areas and have control of your dog at all times.
  
• Dogs must not be allowed to chase or jump on people or other animals
  
• Make sure your dog does not damage public assets spaces, such as digging holes or chewing
