Bleakley Park in Albany Creek is getting a major upgrade as the Moreton Bay Regional Council adds a new dog off-leash area and several improvements to help locals and their pets enjoy the outdoors.
Big Changes Coming for Albany Creek
Bleakley Park is set to receive an 830-square-metre dog off-leash area with pathways, seating, shade, water bubblers, signs and bins. The upgrade is part of a wider plan to improve parks across the region and give locals more space to gather and relax.
Already popular for its playground, picnic tables and outdoor gym, the park sits near Sandy Creek in a quiet, leafy area. The new dog zone will provide a safe space for pets without changing how the rest of the park is used.
Nearby Suburbs to Benefit Too
Alongside Bleakley Park, Brendale Street Park is also set to get a fenced dog off-leash area with similar features like gates, water stations, paths and shaded seating. Landscaping will help make the Brendale space greener and more inviting.
The two parks are only a few kilometres apart, giving nearby suburbs more shared outdoor options. These improvements will strengthen their role as gathering spots for local families and pet owners.
Part of a Larger Plan
The upgrades at Bleakley and Brendale parks are part of a broader push to improve how locals use outdoor spaces. Council works also include footpath upgrades and a new shade sail at John Leitch Memorial Park.
These changes aim to make parks more comfortable, safer and better suited for everyday use. Feedback shows locals want more spots to walk dogs, stay active and catch up with friends. By adding simple, useful features, the council hopes to create spaces people will actually use.
Easy Access for Residents
Bleakley Park sits at 34 Old Northern Road and is easy to reach by car or on foot. It connects well to nearby paths, making it handy for locals out walking or visiting with kids and pets. The upgrades will make it more comfortable and better suited for everyday use.
Brendale Street Park is getting similar improvements, just a short distance away. Together, the two parks are set to become key community spots for wellbeing and outdoor fun.
