Ernest Place is a small civic spot at Crows Nest with BBQ facilities and a designated off-leash area. In keeping with North Sydney's parks, dogs are welcome off-leash under effective control. It is a handy, central place for a quick run in the heart of the village. A convenient little off-leash spot.
All North Sydney Council parks are off-leash by default. Dogs must be leashed in bushland areas (Wildlife Protection Area).
It's small and there's not much to see, but you can feel a calm and peaceful atmosphere on the weekend.
Good to sit in park, enjoy coffee, breakfast, lunch and dinner. Good place to bring kids.
We check council regulations, official sources, and community reviews to verify dog access at every venue. Access may change — always check on-site signage. Something wrong or missing? Submit feedback. How it works.
