Dog rules

–Inner West Council's "Dog exercise areas" page states: "By law, dogs must be on a leash in public places unless the area is a designated off-leash area." Inner West Council publishes a list of gazetted off-leash areas; this venue is not on that list, so the council's general on-leash rule applies under the NSW Companion Animals Act 1998.

A nice little park located along Johnstons Creek where you can walk your dog off leash. As the park is located along the creek, you can walk along the footpath that is also next to the creek. Once you have done all you can here, you can follow along Johnstons Creek to other parks in the area.
