Saint Mary Mckillop Reserve is a park in Canterbury where dog access has not yet been confirmed — it's worth checking before you visit.

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. (Source: City of Canterbury-Bankstown — "Pet-friendly parks and reserves" page, cbcity.nsw.gov.au.)

Very nice playground with cool equipment. Definitely loving the rock climbing equipment and the "pirate ship"esque rocking boat. Theres a great trail for parents which strolls along the river. To top it off, there ample parking, shaded by nice big bushy trees. A gem in canterbury

It’s a nice Park to plan and it has pretty good play equipment. There is a cool tree to climb and I like the spiderweb climbing equipment and the rock climbing equipment. There are lots of cockatoos here that eat the berries and then sometimes go crazy and get hit by the cars on the road. I think they get drunk from the berries.
