Springwood is the gateway to the Blue Mountains — the point where the suburban edge gives way to bushland and the air starts to feel different.

Blue Mountains City Council operates a permissive policy, meaning dogs are welcome on-leash at all parks and reserves unless marked otherwise. Lomatia Park is home to the Springwood District Dog Training Club, and The Oriental Hotel is a dog-friendly pub with a loyal local following. The suburb connects to the broader Blue Mountains walking track network, giving dog owners access to some of the most scenic on-leash walks in NSW.

There are no confirmed off-leash areas in Springwood. Dogs are welcome on-leash at the venues listed above.

We check council regulations, venue websites and FAQ pages, and community reviews. Council and venue-operator sources carry the most weight. Where confirmed or clearly identified, we show the access status and any conditions that apply. Access information is based on the best evidence available and may not always reflect the latest changes.

Yes. Venue policies can change at any time — especially at pubs, cafés, and other hospitality venues. A venue that was dog-friendly last month may have changed its policy. We update our information regularly, but we always recommend checking directly with the venue if you’re planning a special trip.
