Tantallon Oval

Dogs welcome — rules apply•Dog rules

Be the first to share a photo of this spot.

Tantallon Oval is an open playing field at Lane Cove North with a playground, toilets and parking. Dogs are allowed off-leash on the field when organised games are not in progress, on-leash elsewhere, and kept clear of play areas. It gives plenty of room for a run on quieter days. A handy off-leash oval, best outside sport times.

Dog rules

Off-leash area. On open playing field areas when organised games are not in progress. 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)

Safe place to bring your dog or puppy. Although you are not allowed during times of sport which is more than reasonable. (Tends to be Saturday/Sunday)

Nice spot, great little playground to keep the kids occupied. Parking can be hard at times when team sports are on. In my opinion, footy should never be played there as the centre is the cricket pitch and is not finished off that well. Have seen many player injuries on these types of grounds that try and cater for different sports. The rest of the ground itself is fine but I wouldn't advise playing footy on it 🤷🏻

Good cricket infrastructure. Big issue is there is no signage to the parking entry on Epping road. Google takes to the backside of the ground instead of the main parking lot. Need improved road signage

Tucked off the side of Epping road at the intersection of Tantallon road, this is some much needed open space in a rapidly growing local area. Local Rugby club puts on great hospitality for visitors and players to the oval, which is well manicured and equipped. This spot has nurtured some famous sporting identities and future up and coming. Only negative is the lack of parking, council haven't catered for any off street facility and mobility parking for less abled is absent. TIP - arrive early if you have a team sport fixture to attend to, as you may have to find a car park in an adjacent street.

Great place to give your respective pooches a run... (but be aware that on weekends there's organised sport) 🤾🏿‍♂️🤾🏾‍♀️🤾🏽 🤸🏽‍♂️🤸🏾‍♀️🤸🏿 🏃🏻‍♂️🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏾 UPDATE: The work upon the field seems to have been completed.. Great surface, the grass is flush & looking very healthy indeed! 🏉 🏆 ⚽
