Dowling St Road Reserve is a dog-friendly park in Mcmahons Point with off-leash space where dogs can stretch their legs. You'll find BBQs nearby, while The North Spoon is around 400 metres away for an easy post-walk coffee.

Dog rules

North Sydney is a dog-friendly area and all Council parks and public reserves are off-leash areas, except for bushland areas, playing fields when organised sporting events are in progress, and venues where dogs are not allowed. Dogs must be under effective control at all times. (Source: North Sydney Council — northsydney.nsw.gov.au)
