If you're looking for a tranquil and serene environment away from crowds, Tipperary Park is an excellent choice. Its quiet and secluded nature makes it a charming destination, but the fact that we encountered no one else during our visit is a testament to the park's peacefulness and a wonderful opportunity to unwind with your reactive dog.

Tipperary Park's serene atmosphere allows you to immerse in the surroundings, appreciating the natural elements and the subtle Japanese-themed design. The absence of crowds offers a chance to escape the bustling city and enjoy a moment of tranquility.

What we liked about the park

  • It's hidden, peaceful and the Japanese-inspired garden was enjoyable to walk through

  • The traffic at the park was very low, making it an ideal low-trigger spot for reactive dogs

What we didn't like about the park

  • It's not a very long path to walk along. The entire loop is less than a kilometre and that's already going the long way around. It's likely not enough to tire out your dog.
