MJ Doherty Reserve is a dog-friendly park in Glebe. You'll find shaded areas and BBQs nearby, while Bruce Tea and Coffee is around 450 metres away for an easy post-walk coffee.

Dog rules

Dogs are welcome in this park but must be kept on a leash at all times. Off-leash exercise is only permitted in the City of Sydney's 50 designated off-leash parks — this is not one of them. Dogs are prohibited from playgrounds, sports courts, and enclosed sports ovals. Please pick up after your dog — free waste bags are available at most parks.

Seems nice enough. Only took the photos while passing. Small set of swings for kids in shade. Bbq and bubbler is a nice touch
