Dog rules
–Under the NSW Companion Animals Act 1998, section 13(1): "A dog (other than a dog being exhibited at a show or being trialled or trained for showing) that is in a public place must be under the effective control of some competent person by means of an adequate chain, cord or leash that is attached to the dog and that is being held by (or secured to) the person." Blue Mountains City Council publishes a list of 14 designated off-leash dog areas in the Blue Mountains; this venue is not on that list, so the NSW Act's leash requirement applies. (Source: NSW Companion Animals Act 1998 s.13, legislation.nsw.gov.au; BMCC "Off-Leash Dog Areas in the Blue Mountains" page, bmcc.nsw.gov.au/dogs.)

A quiet walk through history and nature in the heart of Katoomba. Easy access by car (plenty of parking) or bus from town. Gentle walking tracks, locals jogging and walking dogs, a large pond, and a public swimming pool. Informative signs explain First Nations custodianship and the site’s more recent history as a former race track. Not as dramatic as nearby lookouts, but peaceful and worth a visit.
