Dog rules

Dogs are welcome on-leash at Smith Park, 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.

Excellent basketball court. The flooring of the court is a plastic material, like square tiles that are all interconnected. It makes bouncing the ball a bit strange to play on and I would have preferred a concrete surface, but the plastic material is not bad and looks like it's purpose is for drainage. The line markings are excellent and the quality of the backboard and ring with net is excellent. Parking is beside the basketball court. Very nice atmosphere. I never ventured anywhere else in the park, there was football games going on at the time, nevertheless the park can definitely accommodate for huge crowds, it's spacious and the people are very freindly and courteous.

A great park to play basketball. Great rings, great surface and an awesome atmosphere. One of the best outdoor courts in Sydney.

Decent flat fields to play on. Couldn't find any taps or bubblers anywhere for water bottle refills

The Basketball Court is the home ground of the DBL. Pick up games are most Sunday mornings 10am to 12pm.
