Penrith is Western Sydney's gateway to the Blue Mountains — a growing city on the Nepean River with a strong network of parks and a developing food and drink scene.

The suburb has a solid park network with on-leash options along the river. Percy Plunkett welcomes dogs on-leash in the grass and courtyard area. The broader Penrith LGA connects to some of the larger parks in Western Sydney.

There are no confirmed off-leash areas in Penrith. 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.
