Dog parks
Dog parks in New Zealand
1051 dog parks across New Zealand, read off council pages and dog control policies, with the one question that matters answered as honestly as the record allows: is it fenced. 24 are classed as fenced by the council itself, 74 are part fenced or have a fence mapped without confirmation, and for 941 nobody has said.
Most of these have no fencing statement at all. That is the honest state of the record, not a gap we have papered over: councils publish where dogs may go off the lead far more often than they publish whether the place is enclosed. Where a page says nothing, we say nothing, and you should walk in on the lead and look.
By town
Dog parks town by town
Every town where we hold 6 dog parks or more, placed by coordinates rather than by the address on the record. 894 of the 1051 parks we hold sit within 25 km of a town we map; the rest are still on the fenced list and on the live map.

See the parksWhere this comes from. Fencing is read off each council’s own dog park pages and dog control policies, with additional locations from OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL). Last refreshed 2026-09-07. Nobody has reviewed or endorsed these pages: we read what is published and cite it. The sign at the gate carries the final word, and a council can change a rule the week after we read it. If we have something wrong, tell us and we will recheck it.
