Eatwell Reserve
Eatwell Reserve is a fantastic off-leash dog exercise park located in Paraparaumu, providing a spacious and safe environment for dogs to roam, run, and play freely. Situated off Gray Avenue, the reserve offers an expansive open area where dogs can socialise with others and enjoy the outdoors. The serene creek running through the park enhances its natural charm, while the mature trees along the northern edge provide ample shade for both dogs and their owners. Eatwell Reserve is the perfect spot for a leisurely walk, a game of fetch, or simply relaxing in nature with your four-legged friend.

What makes Eatwell Reserve stand out is its combination of wide open spaces, natural beauty, and dog-friendly environment. The off-leash area allows dogs to play freely without restrictions, while the peaceful creek and shaded spots along the trees create a calm, enjoyable atmosphere for owners to relax.
