Be the first to share a photo of this spot.

Stringybark Creek Reserve is a green Lane Cove North spot with a short bush walking track and open playing fields. Dogs are off-leash in the open field areas (not the playground), and the surrounding eucalypts give the place a calm, leafy feel. It backs onto a family-friendly bush track, making it easy to combine a walk with some open off-leash space. A pleasant, low-key local reserve.

Dog rules

Off-leash area. Except bushland areas, not including playground area. Dogs must remain on leash in all other areas. Dogs are prohibited within 10 metres of children's play areas, within 10 metres of food areas, from bushland/wetlands/mangroves, school grounds, and childcare centres. Source: Lane Cove Council – Dog off-leash areas (lanecove.nsw.gov.au/Community/Parks-and-Recreation/Dog-off-leash-areas)

Excellent off leash dog park but after it's rained there is a giant mud puddle that forms and if you gave a golden retriever like I do, they'll swim in it!

Great little short bush walking track for those families with young kids. Backs onto the open playground suitable for dogs too.

Ah I love this park. Easy to park next too. The eucalyptus trees leave the whole area smelling calming. There are off leash dogs but they seem to be ok with staying in the grassy place with the park not the kiddy play part

An exemplary business; Michael responds to enquiries and schedules the service with amazing efficiency. Patios, pathways and a driveway cleaned and as others have suggested the transformation is literally like night and day; even on an overcast day everything looked so bright! Michael takes great pride and pleasure in his work, a big recommend to a lovely person.
