Ruddock Park is a well-regarded dog-friendly park in Westleigh with a fenced area where dogs can roam off lead and plenty of shade.
Fully fenced off-leash area with double-gate entrance, waste bins, dog waste bags, and water provided. Source: Hornsby Shire Council – Off-leash dog areas (hornsby.nsw.gov.au).
Great outdoor area for any type of activity: kids playground, football field, picnic areas, table tennis and tennis courts, BBQ, toilets, drinking water and even some bush for kids to play in! A dog park is across the road!
Fantastic, leafy, shaded playground with an amazing Pirate play structure and covered picnic tables! It was brilliant! Lots of activities on the play structure for all ages of kids- a difficult chain bridge for bigger kids, rope bridges for younger kids, down to easy stairs straight up to the slides for the littlest kids. There’s also 2 bouncy chairs (one is a treasure chest and one is a Jolly Roger design) plus swings. Toilets are dated but functional and very close to the pirate playground which is great! BBQs are also nearby and there’s a scooter track/small bike path. What a great park, highly recommended.
Had a fantastic time here. Kids lived the playground and the bike track. We stayed for 4 hours!! I found a lovely sunny spot to sit with my book. Great afternoon.
Great park adjacent to tennis courts. Busy on the weekends but good versatility for a wide range of ages (2-8). Not as much here for the big kids, but decent when they're young.
Nice little park - it’s my local that I’ve grown up with. For the kids there’s a decent playground with swings, a net, the usual climbing equipment and a spinner. For adults / bigger kids there’s tennis courts, a fun little loop for riding bikes or scooters, and a large oval for any sports related activities, or learning to fly a drone!
