Find a dog-friendly area

There are three designated off-leash areas for dogs in the Lismore Local Government Area: Elizabeth Park, a designated fenced dog area near the Wilsons River, and Hepburn Park in Goonellabah. Dogs are also welcome if on-leash in Riverside Park.

Dogs should be under control while using these areas.

Please consider other people using the area by ensuring your dog is not a nuisance or an annoyance to other users and their pets. And always remember to scoop their poop before you go!
