Batten Reserve is a dog-friendly park in Lane Cove North. Just 750m away, Cafe Osheare is a nearby spot to stop in after your walk.
Dogs must remain on leash at all times when in public (including bushland) except in designated off-leash areas. Dogs are prohibited within 10 metres of children's play areas, within 10 metres of food preparation/consumption areas, from recreation areas during organised games, from bushland/wetlands/mangroves, school grounds, and childcare centres.

Good for exercise. I just do a short walk string bark and batten reserves through under the bridge. Kid-friendly, Dog on leashes. Big bamboo and native plants.
Great walking track along the creek which makes you feel completely isolated from the chaos of the city. very well maintained, clean and usually not crowded at all. Suitable for short and slightly longer walks. One side connects all the way down to lane cove national park. Ideal for when you want a quick escape. Mobile coverage can be spotty, so beware and take caution.
We check council regulations, official sources, and community reviews to verify dog access at every venue. Access may change — always check on-site signage. Something wrong or missing? Submit feedback. How it works.
