Sutton Reserve is a well-regarded dog-friendly park in Earlwood where dogs are welcome on lead. Frank & Chitch is also around 600 metres away for a post-walk coffee.

Dog rules

Dogs are welcome on-leash at Sutton Reserve, a Canterbury-Bankstown Council park. Under the NSW Companion Animals Act 1998, dogs must be kept on a lead and under the effective control of a competent person, and are prohibited within 10 metres of children's play equipment and food preparation areas. Off-leash exercise is permitted only in Council's designated off-leash areas.

My greyhound had a great little blast and lots of sniffing! Not many dogs at the time so we had a very relaxing afternoon 😎

When I help little kids cope with change, I prefer nature set ups to get them to talk and express how they feel. This little park was perfect because I was able to entertain them while talking to them with no one around which made the task easier. Recommended for a quick saheded play in the middle of the day.

I particularly enjoy walking in this park. It has extended walking paths that are wide and stretch for kilometres. The serenity of this park transports you far away and the scenery changes as you progress. Enjoy the views of the mangroves, rivers, bridges, golf course, foliage and architectural homes. The greenery extends far and wide a perfect place to escape lockdown.

Great area for walking, lots of bike riders and families taking a stroll. Lots of white cockatoos live in this area, there is a particular tree they all eat from and create a fantastic mess below. There is a bird sanctuary for Pelicans, these majestic beasts come to dry off their features and aren't afraid of humans.
