Hobsonville Point (Bomb Point) Dog Park — Attraction in Upper Harbour

We take our dog Pepsi here most days and he loves it! There is a heap of room for him to stretch his legs and zoom around, a few shady spots and some seating with nice views while you watch the pups play too.

There are quite a few large holes and ditches caused by rabbits and inquisitive dogs which are becoming a bit of an ankle-roll hazard for both dogs and humans - so best to watch where you’re stepping at times.

There are a few water bowls available too but you need to bring your own water for them. It would be great to have some form of water tap for the bowls (similar to Meola Reef Dog Park in Point Chev).

There is also a box of communal toys, however these tend to get destroyed pretty quickly ! Would be awesome to have some obstacles or agility stations for some variety.

But it's also got a lovely walk along the water to complete your loop. Only major complaint is the poop bin needs to be emptied more regularly as it is overflowing a lot of the time. Some obstacles would...

This dog park is an insult to both dogs and humans. It presents itself as an afterthought - hmmm, what shall we do with this spare land? Once one figures out the gate mechanism, one is faced with a space that is of strange proportions as well as small. The potholes caused the dog to trip up. If there are any owners out there who cannot control their dogs, be warned - if one of these approaches your dog, and kicks off: you may well be trapped in a very confined location with limited space. I give one star for the dog bags on site. Can't say where the water in the dog bowl came from, or when...
