Eccles Reserve is a park in Belfield. Dog access isn't confirmed, but it may be worth checking.

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.

Decent sized park. You can enter from either end of the park. Both back onto Streets. Good play equipment, in good condition. There is a water fountain at one end of the park. Plenty of seating here and has external lighting too. There is no Public Toilet here.

A great place for a walk and to enjoy nature. Many people have enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and well-maintained grounds. BizMapper

It's a good enough playground if you don't have a better option. It has the potential to be much better if people were looking after it more and not leaving their rubbish behind.

Best reserve. Some people have told me that it’s very small in size, but I think this is part of the amazing quality of Eccles reserve. It is nicely fitting into the surrounding area and we can enjoy and relax in nature during our busy week. Would definitely recommend to visit Eccles Reserve! Bring a couple to friends to visit and meditate together! Thanks

As most suburban reserves, it's a green quiet place to have a break on your way as you breathe and hear the crickets.
