Keira&Phoenix Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I don't have sound so I can't hear my voice lol but I am sure I will hate it (I always do) thanks for not including the videos where you got us in them lol. It was a good afternoon and yeah love that spot, lots of room to wander around without running into lots of other people but still lots of dogs in the main area for playing with. It was good to meet both of you and yeah fingers crossed for 4 at the next one Now we just need to find somewhere as good as that in the southside area!

minxy Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 As long as it's fully fenced, I'm happy with wherever. I haven't been to too many different parks with him, so I can't think of anywhere at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keira&Phoenix Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 OK so I went out and scouted 3 places today - Bulimba Riverside Park - Was very busy park in a built up area, nice enough park, well maintained, but the dog park was really small. White Hill Reserve, Camp Hill - Biggish dog park, about a 5th the size of Kroll from last week but VERY VERY busy, had to be at least 40 - 50 dogs there. Relatively ok, no overly aggressive dogs or dominant dogs but way to busy for what we are looking for. Good if you want to socialise your dog though as there were heaps of different breeds. Colmslie Rec Reserve, Morningside - Best one by far. There is the dog park which is regular sized with some agility equipment etc the usual, nothing special really, wasn't overly busy but right next to it is a small inlet beach which you can have your dog at so good to take the dogs for a dip after running around ;), its not huge but again wasn't too busy only 1 family and 1 other dog, there were a few people pulling out boats, jet skis etc but they would all have been gone by 3:30 pm. I took some pictures see below.... I will have a look at more next weekend too. Does anyone have anywhere they would like to suggest?? Somewhere they ave been before and liked?

minxy Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Oooh, Colmslie rec reserve was the one I had looked at on the net the other week, but couldn't find any photos of it so wasn't sure if it was going to be suitable or not. It looks fantastic! I'd love to try that one out if others are keen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I was doing some research and read about it but couldn't find any pics so thought I would have a look see and take pics for everyone else. It was pretty chilled out there relaxing. If everyone's keen for Colmslie thats cool. Otherwise if no I can keep looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldenGirl85 Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 That place looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinderella Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 The colmslie park is great =) it's just down the road from me and it has been fairly quiet every weekend we have gone. Our friends told us they have had issues with aggressive dogs at the bulimba park before, so we haven't gone there. It's a bit further away but there is also a really nice area at Cleveland with a dog friendly beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandybrush Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 sorry to be annoying at the colmslie park, how deep was the water? was it protected? im terrified of bull sharks (in the brisbane river, hunt in packs) its a great fear i have that raz will get eaten if its shallow ill be ok, like at the spit, its shallow for a bit before it gets deep maybe the cleveland one is worth a look too :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minxy Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I know you can take dogs on the beach at Wellington Point, but I'm pretty sure that's only Mon-Fri, so that would rule that place out. Colmslie looks great - the dog park and agility equipment would be fun. Could find somewhere for a swim the next time if it isn't suitable?

dandybrush Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 yep ok, lets do the colmslie one and if i deem it safe for my baby (im an overprotective mother :D) then we can make it maybe a regular spot im always up for trying new things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could find somewhere for a swim the next time if it isn't suitable? Raby Bay Foreshore at Cleveland for the month of March and April dogs must be on leash at all times (http://www.redland.qld.gov.au/RecreationFacilities/Parks/Pages/MonthsTimesDogMayBeOff.aspx) May and June they can be off leash at all times, so we can probably look into going there at the next Southside meet (May)while we still have warmish weather. Also this is not fenced at all, there is another one G J Walter Park right near the beach in Cleveland which apparently has water access and partial fencing no time limits (I haven't been to this one personally though so am unsure what its like, I have been to Raby Bay) ETA - Just checked out a map of the GJ Walter Park and its patially fenced but doesn't protect the dogs from running towards the main road so I am not real confident with that and I don't think Minxy or Golden Girl are either oh well.

Scarlett Dog Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Whites Hill/Camp Hill is ALWAYS busy and lots of people just sit down and read the paper rather than watching their dogs. Not great. We tend to find the dog parks no one goes to. Highgate Hill has always been quiet, Wakerley was quiet too. We've taken Scarlett swimming @ Colmslie, with her being prone to sensitive skin i wouldn't let her swim in the Brisbane river for a while, there's still lots of debris and stuff around.
