Burnum Burnum Sanctuary
Burnum Burnum Sanctuary is an on-leash park on the Woronora River with a mix of open grassed areas and bushland walking tracks. It's a popular meetup spot — the Hobbit Hounds rescued greyhound group walks here every Sunday, and the atmosphere is consistently friendly. There's fishing access, BBQ facilities, a playground, and clean toilet facilities. The scenery along the river is genuinely pleasant, making it a good option for a longer on-leash walk rather than just a quick visit.
Dog rules
Dogs are permitted on-leash at Burnum Burnum Sanctuary. Sutherland Shire Council requires dogs on-leash at all times in public reserves and spaces unless within a designated off-leash area.
