Ewenton Park, Balmain This quiet park is great for dogs. They can play off leash between 4pm and 10am during non daylight saving time, and 5pm and 10am during daylight saving time, weekends and public holidays. The best time to visit is in the late afternoon as the sun sets, reflecting off the glass towers at Barangaroo. The water police headquarters is there

Great park, and we keep coming here. I think the council is neglecting it. Its hard to park here, but you can park up the hill and walk down, its worth it. Public toilets would be nice too
