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.

What people say

★★★★★4 years ago

Despite a small number of feral locals that allow their dogs to run off leash and defecate on the expansive grass reserve, this is a large and enjoyable playground.

★★★☆☆5 years ago

Playground equipment is old. There's no shade when it's hot, but it's close to our house so the kids are there often.
