Bicentennial Park park in Glebe

Bicentennial Park

ParkGlebe

Bicentennial Park sits on the Glebe foreshore with views across to Anzac Bridge and the harbour. The off-leash section is west of the canal, giving dogs a defined area to run while the rest of the park stays on-leash. It's part of a longer waterfront walk that connects through to the Fish Markets, so you can make the outing as short or as long as you like. Dogs are not permitted in the playground area.

Frequently asked questions about dogs in Glebe

Is Glebe dog friendly?

Glebe's foreshore parks are the highlight — a string of connected green spaces along Blackwattle Bay that create one of Sydney's better waterfront dog-walking circuits.

Where can I take my dog in Glebe?

Bicentennial Park sits on the Glebe foreshore with harbour views and off-leash sections, Federal Park has off-leash access on the grassy areas when organised sport isn't on, and Wentworth Park provides a large open space for dogs that need room to run. The foreshore walk connects through to the Fish Markets, making it easy to extend the outing. Glebe's cafe and bookshop culture adds to the appeal — Sappho Books, Cafe & Bar is a dog-friendly institution.

Are there off-leash areas in Glebe?

Yes — Glebe has off-leash dog areas at Bicentennial Park, Wentworth Park, and Blackwattle Bay Park. Off-leash rules and hours can change, so always check current council signage before letting your dog off-leash.

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.
