Castlewood Park is a large park in the Castlewood estate at Castle Hill, with a cricket pitch and plenty of open grass. It has a designated off-leash area, and there is room for a good walk among the sports and open space. With BBQ facilities and shade on hand, it is comfortable for a longer visit. A spacious local spot with off-leash room.

Dogs are prohibited within 10 metres of children's playground equipment and food preparation areas, from active sports fields during organised sport, public bathing areas, school grounds, and child care centres.

Castlewood Park/reserve/oval is huge park in Castlewood estate. The Park has cricket pitch and during summer weekends you can find teams playing cricket in the ground. The Park has small corner for kids to play on equipments. There's a corner setup for exercise as well. The dog owners can walk there dogs, the Park has poop bag dispenser as well for per owners. It is used for footy matches, kids training. The Park has bike track, baseball ring and small covered area for barbeque and birthday parties.
Great oval aside from the fact that someone (or multiple people) seem to be regularly absolutely obliterating the bathroom here. I feel so bad for whoever has to clean it because clearly some people have no respect for others and decide to smear their faeces everywhere. Today the toilet seat was even flipped around along with the regular poop carnage! The oval itself is great, can people please just stop using the toilet here as a diarrhoea hotspot.
Local park. Few parking spots. Nice walking track with plenty of greens. Play area for kids and also some exercise equipment.
Lovely location to go for your walks, play with the kids or just relax under the shade.
Saw council workers in hazmat suits applying weed killer all over the park on Monday morning 22nd September. If this stuff is bad for the workers then it can't be good for people, athletes, kids or pets using the ground floor sport or recreation. Why don't council level up with the community on the chemicals they are using on the grounds and when so users aren't subjecting themselves unknowingly to cancer causing chemicals??
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.
