Cunninghams Reach is a peaceful riverside park at Lane Cove with shade, BBQ facilities and a playground. Dogs are allowed off-leash in the designated area, kept clear of the playground, food areas and bushland, on-leash elsewhere. It is a good spot for a relaxed walk by the river. A pleasant riverside off-leash park.

Dog rules

Off-leash area. 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.

Lovely secluded reserve where you easily while away the hours. Got a few fish but sent them straight back. It’s a pristine BBQ spot and we can only hope folks respect that and leave it that way.
