Mrs Isabella Hills Rest Area is a compact, well-maintained fenced off-leash park in the backstreets of Newtown. What it lacks in size it makes up for in shade and accessibility — mature trees cover most of the space, and there's drinking water available. The regulars are friendly and it has that neighbourhood dog park feel where everyone knows each other's dogs. It's a quick, easy stop rather than a destination park.

It is small and well maintained park. Dogs are allowed off leash. The people in the park are friendly

Green spaces are always good! This is a friendly park where dogs roam and their human mum and daddy’s sit and enjoy the quiet. There are hydration stations for the pets and a drinking fountain for people too. Very quiet. Bring your mosquito spray to fully enjoy.

A beautiful reserve. Patrons tend to leave stray trolley 🛒 here, and currently the grass is suffering from recent dryness.
