Colmslie Recreation Reserve Off Leash Dog Park Beach

Morningside

Updated: Mar 10, 2025

Lucky canines on the eastside don't need to travel too far for a paddle and a play with Colmslie Recreation Reserve (not to be confused with Colmslie Beach Reserve) in Morningside providing both a beach and off-leash dog park.

Located off Lytton Road at the end of Col Gardner Drive, dogs big and small can run and play in the spacious park with agility equipment. When they get too hot under the collar, pooches can dip their paws in the Brisbane River and then socialize some more on the sliver of sand.
