Hawthorne Parade Reserve is a park in Haberfield. 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.

What people say
★★☆☆☆6 years ago
Was formerly a very nice little park tucked away in a suburban street, and previously great for kids. However, it is in significant need of refurbishment or even basic maintenance, and most of the original play equipment has been removed and not replaced. I hope Inner West council can look into the situation here and return the park to its former glory.
