Zig Zag Reserve is a park in Balmain East. Dogs are generally allowed on a lead in NSW public parks unless signs say otherwise — but the rules here aren't confirmed, so check local signage before visiting.
Dog rules
–Inner West Council's "Dog exercise areas" page states: "By law, dogs must be on a leash in public places unless the area is a designated off-leash area." Inner West Council publishes a list of gazetted off-leash areas; this venue is not on that list, so the council's general on-leash rule applies under the NSW Companion Animals Act 1998.

It’s not about the zigging and zagging, it’s about the view at the bottom, and access to the amazing brightly coloured buildings that you can see up close! Two benches down at the bottom, that’s about it for amenities.
