Best dog walking suburb around Perth?

If you want to run your dog at the beach, then Brighton near Scarborough is a good beach. For walking, around Nedlands foreshore, all through the river route from Nedlands to Mosman Park is great and is very beautiful because you get to see the river, there are grassy parks on the foreshore and there are many beautiful houses to see as well. Further north in Kingsely, there is Lake Goollelal but please keep your dog on a leash there to protect the habitat of the wildlife. Through the Yellagonga Regional Park attached to Lake Goollelal there is a shared cycle/walk path and it would be appreciated if you were to enjoy the park and keep your dog tethered at the same time for rider safety.
Bibra Lake, mate!
I lived in two great dog walking places. One is North of the River, Alexander Heights - there is a huge park on Greenpark Rd that has a big open oval and a very long grassed area with trees and playground. The oval end borders Alexander Dr a main highway type rd- both roads can be quite busy, but the other end is near houses and a very nice spot. People walk their dogs there all the time and it is a family suburb with a range of housing - the CBD would be via the freeway.
The other would be anywhere in the Maylands, Bayswater, AScot or Belmont and surrounds. There is a huge river reserve in Bayswater where dogs take over every evening and near Ascot Waters there is a big oval as well. You would be about 10 mins from the city in these areas. Higher rent in these areas but would depend on where you could have pets and if the block size was okay for them to have some space.
I live in Osborne Park and the City of Stirling has a policy where all parks are dog friendly unless otherwise stated. It's the best and you meet loads of new people out wlaking their dogs. Hope that helps!
Thanks!
