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.

A very pleasant park with mature Australian gums – some of which were in flower when I visited. This park is spacious with a variety of parking options and great access from Punchbowl Railway station. The grass is green, the sun is warm – enjoy!
