Gordon Falls Picnic Area

Dogs welcome — rules apply•Dog rules

Updated 16 Aug 2026

Gordon Falls Picnic Area is a top-rated dog-friendly park in Leura. You'll find BBQs, parking, and toilets nearby, and dog waste bags are usually available.

Dog rules

Dogs are welcome on leash at Gordon Falls picnic area and reserve, which Blue Mountains City Council manages and which sits outside Blue Mountains National Park. Keep your dog at least 10 metres from children's play equipment and from BBQs, picnic tables or other facilities provided for preparing or eating food. Nearby tracks descend into Blue Mountains National Park, where dogs are not permitted, so watch for the national park boundary and do not continue with your dog beyond it.

Picnic area that has recently been renovated, with new toilets and attractive comfortable picnic tables. Also a water access point to refill your water bottles. Weekends there is often a coffee cart nearby for the caffeine addicts. Falls are easily accessible nearby. Part of the new Grand Clifftop walk. Parking available and children's play equipment. Enjoy!

Lovely place to have a picnic or BBQ and go for a walk as there are tracks with incredible views. Metered parking.

This is one of the nice places in Leura with lots of seating area, reasonable parking, beautiful bush walks and scenic lookouts. Its Within 5 mins of the very vibrant Leura Mall where you have very cute countryside shops and eating options from pubs to restaurants, this is a hot outing destination
