Fred Miller Reserve is a small on-leash park in Surry Hills — not a designated off-leash area. There's drinking water and waste bags provided. It's a compact neighbourhood space for a brief on-leash walk.

Dog rules

Dogs must be on a leash at this park under City of Sydney rules. Off-leash exercise is permitted only in the City of Sydney's designated off-leash areas. (Source: City of Sydney Council — cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au)

Very small dogs on leash only park. It is popular with dogs of all sizes. It is unfenced with a couple of wooden benches. A water tap for the dogs would be appreciated. There is a waste bin with dog poo bags in the middle of the park.
