Matt Hogan Reserve

Dogs welcome — rules applyDog rules

Updated 15 Apr 2026

Matt Hogan Reserve is a dog-friendly park in Newtown with plenty of shade. Just 100m away, Dogge is a great nearby spot to grab a coffee with your pup.

Dog rules

Reviews and community photos confirm dogs are welcome at Matt Hogan Reserve. The reserve is not listed on Inner West Council's off-leash areas page (only Camperdown Memorial Rest Park is listed off-leash for Newtown), so dogs must be kept on leash. A user review explicitly states dogs "must be on leash". (Sources: Google reviews + community photos; Inner West Council "Dogs in parks" page.)
