James Folster Reserve is a park in Ashbury. Dogs are generally allowed on a lead in NSW public parks unless signs say otherwise — but the rules here aren't confirmed, so check local signage before visiting.
Dog rules
–Canterbury-Bankstown City Council's "Pet-friendly parks and reserves" page states: "please remember to keep your dog on a leash unless the reserve is classified as a 'dog off-leash area'." The council's "Animals and pets" page summarises this as: "Keeping your dog on a leash, unless in a designated off-leash area." This venue is not on Canterbury-Bankstown's published off-leash list, so the council's general on-leash rule applies under the NSW Companion Animals Act 1998.

Hey, delightful, small neighbourhood playground. We were excited and delighted that there was grass under our feet while sitting on the park bench 😉

Worst playground (if you can even call it that) - just some random poles in the ground and some nets. Don't even bother.
