Goddard Reserve is a park in Newtown. Dogs are generally allowed on a lead in NSW public parks unless signs say otherwise — but the rules here aren't confirmed, so check local signage before visiting.
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 great little nook park with really cool playground equipment for kids of all ages. Benches for resting- and the surface is flexible and soft to protect the babies! The drinking fountain works too- such a bonus!!! Watch out for dog poop in grass

Great if you want your kids to blow off some energy and climb. It is small though.
