Naremburn Park
Naremburn Park is a large off-leash space with a good mix of open grass and tree coverage. It's not fenced, so dogs need reliable recall, but the size of the park means there's plenty of room to spread out. Morning and afternoon sessions draw a friendly regular crowd. The park has BBQs, toilets, parking, and waste bags, and dogs must stay 10 metres from the playground area. It's a popular everyday park for the Willoughby area.

What people say
Lovely place to walk my dog. Lots of space to run around and plenty of dogs to play with.
Nice dog friendly local park with two big fields, two basketball courts and a playground! There are complimentary poo bags and also has a regular dog community which usually convene around 4-5pm on weekdays. Unfortunately, there is no available schedule that I can check for sports times and there isn't really any dedicated space for dogs during sports games.
Lovely big off-lead park with a great bunch of dogs around most days. Only downsides are that it is not fully fenced in, make sure your dog has good recall. Also most nights there will be sports on the fields. You gotta be a little flexible with dogs and the sporting people but all happens in harmony from what I've seen. There is fresh water for dogs available. 4 stars because you can find dogs here almost all day long but not quite 5 stars due to fencing and sporting.
As a tourist I do take my phone where I have my google map but least use it. So went for a morning walk & landed here in a cool rainy wet day. Few dogs & runners. A quiet place to sit, listen music minus the pods & jot few lines of your travel & above all thank God for this BEAUTIFUL LIFE🍀🙏🍀I can spot a place for RV campers to park too 😱
Was visiting the area & stumbled across the park. It is a great park for a run or walk, especially on a warm spring/summer day. It has play equipment for the kids, calisthenic equipment for a strength workout, fields for sports/games & is all round very family friendly.
