16 dog parks near Wellington

A council off-leash zone is a rule about the lead, not a fence, and we hold no fencing data on the zones at all. A dog park is where that question can be answered, and it is the one that matters when the recall is still a work in progress. These are the dog park records we hold within 35 km of the Wellington zones, sorted by what the evidence actually supports. District lines and dog parks do not agree, so a few of these sit in the next district over: each one carries the nearest town we map.

Fenced, in the source's own words (5)

Each of these comes off a council page that classes the area as fenced, quoted below with a link to the page it came from.

• 1 of these sit on a council page that classes the area as fenced while the line we can quote describes the park instead. Follow the link and read it in full.

Part fenced, or a fence mapped but not proven (1)

Either the source describes a fence around part of the area, or a fence line is drawn in OpenStreetMap without anything confirming it encloses the dog area. Walk in on a lead and look before you unclip.

Fencing not confirmed (10)

We hold no fencing statement at all for these, so treat them as open ground. Not confirmed is not the same as not fenced, and we are not going to guess which one it is.

Towns we map around Wellington

Every one of these carries its own dog-friendly walk list, with the lead rule on each track.
