Gillanders Reserve is a dog-friendly park in Crows Nest where dogs are welcome on lead. Just a short walk away, Flat Rock Brew Cafe is a great spot for a post-walk drink.
Dogs can be exercised on leash in almost all parks and public spaces. Dogs are not permitted within 10 metres of play areas or playgrounds, public bathing areas, school grounds, childcare centres, Wildlife Protection Areas, during organised sport, or some food service and preparation areas.

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.
