About Champagnat Park
Off-Leash Dog Area at Champagnat Park
Champagnat Park has a fenced off-leash dog area with concrete tunnels, agility equipment and around 6,700 square metres of open grass. The dog area provides waste bags, drinking water, seating and picnic tables. Dogs run off-leash only inside the fenced boundary and must return to the lead in the rest of Champagnat Park. A competent handler aged 16 or over must supervise dogs at all times with effective voice or hand control. Only socialised dogs are permitted, and aggressive dogs must be removed immediately.
Walking and Cycling Path at Champagnat Park
Champagnat Park has a sealed walking and cycling path running through its length, with gym equipment spaced at intervals along the way. The trails suit both leisurely strolls and more challenging hikes, and they support jogging and running. Champagnat Park offers scenic views across Gregory Hills, and sunrise and sunset are both popular times for viewing. Parrots, cockatoos and kookaburras are common in the park, while kangaroos, wallabies and possums appear occasionally.
