Riverside gardens dog exercise area offers a convenient location with ample parking and late afternoon shade in summer, providing a large open space for off-leash activities and easy river access for swimming. While it features enclosures for training and is well-regarded for its scenic views of the swan river, notable issues include the lack of accessible water sources, insufficient shade during most times of the day, and uneven ground that poses injury risks. The park benefits from a strong community atmosphere but needs improvements such as additional shade, better地面 conditions, and a proper water fountain.
