Nestor Park

Dogs likely welcome

Nestor Park is a park in Leichhardt. 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. (Source: Inner West Council — "Dog exercise areas" page, innerwest.nsw.gov.au.)

Quiet little park in between 2 houses. Looks like the park is where a house use to be. A bbq at the front (which was dirty). All accessible park equipment. Basketball court at the back. Shade cloth. Trees need to be cut back. Some maintenance required to the park equipment.

good 1-2 person circle swing. very small, making it inconvenient for multiple people, but very easy to swing alone.

Great little park. Some of the playground is a bit worn but my son loved pushing around the large car.

A beautiful little park for a pit stop. Clean, neat and tidy. Never really busy too, which is nice for more introverted parents.

Decent little local park. Good to burn a few toddler calories.
