PawMap: Dog Parks & Off-Leash

Mobi Dynamic Pty Ltd

About this app

Can I bring my dog there?

PawMap helps dog owners answer that question fast. Search cafes, parks, beaches, shops and other places to see whether dogs are welcome, what rules apply, and how trustworthy the information is.

NOT A GOVERNMENT APP

PawMap is an independent app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by any government or council. Off-leash rules, fines and on-the-ground signage are set and enforced by the relevant council, not by PawMap. Always check the council's own page for the most current rules.

WHAT YOU GET

- Dog policy at a glance: allowed, restricted, not allowed, or unknown
- Council off-leash zones across Australia
- Indoor, outdoor, leash, size and restriction details where known
- Map view for nearby places and dog areas
- "You're in an off-leash area" alerts when PawMap recognises where you are
- Saved places for quick repeat access
- Community reports reviewed by moderators before they affect public data

BUILT FOR DOG OWNERS

PawMap is designed for quick decisions before you leave home, when you arrive at a park, or when you are choosing somewhere nearby. Instead of digging through council pages or venue websites, you can open one map and get the practical answer.

TRUSTED POLICY DATA

PawMap combines council records, verified sources and reports from real dog owners. Policy details show trust signals so you can tell the difference between confirmed information, inferred information and places that still need checking.

If something looks wrong, submit a report from the app. It only takes a moment, and your contribution helps improve the map for everyone.

AUSTRALIA-FIRST COVERAGE

PawMap is built in Australia, with coverage across every state and territory. Council off-leash data is strongest in major metro areas and keeps expanding as new sources are verified.

Whether you are looking for dog parks in Melbourne, dog beaches in Sydney, or off-leash areas in Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, Hobart or Darwin, PawMap helps you check before you go.
