Conditions apply

Johnson Park is a well-used Dulwich Hill park with a designated off-leash area and good shelter. Dogs are off-leash from 6–9am and 4–7pm (5–8pm during daylight saving), and on-leash outside those hours. It is a popular spot at dusk, with undercover BBQ areas, toilets, a playground and an outdoor fitness area on hand. A comfortable local park that suits an off-leash visit around the timed hours.

Park•Dulwich Hill

J.F. Laxton Reserve is a hidden-away local park in Dulwich Hill, a small green oasis with a playground for the neighbourhood.

A pleasant on-leash pocket park.

How does Dog Happiness decide if a venue is dog-friendly?

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.

Can venue dog policies change?

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.
