Dogs in Parks
Yes, of course our four-legged friends are allowed on parks and trails in the Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD).
It is our goal to ensure that dog owners and non-dog owners alike can responsibly use all SCRD parks and trails. Dogs are permitted on all SCRD parks and trails; however, it is our policy that dogs must be on a leash except in off leash parks. Dogs are not permitted on playgrounds, sports fields, waterparks and in cemeteries.
Off leash
