Rodney Reserve is a calm, open reserve in Dover Heights with a soccer field and a narrower stretch for a short walk. Dogs are welcome on-leash, and while there are few facilities beyond drinking water, the harbour views are the real draw. It is a quiet local spot for an easy stroll with other dog owners around. A relaxed on-leash reserve with lovely outlooks.

Dog rules

Dogs are welcome on leash. Keep your dog under control and follow signs on site. (Source: Waverley.)

Beautiful calm dog park! No facilities other than fresh water fountains but the views are unbeatable and always have a lovely walk with other dogs and locals.

The larger space is a soccer/football field and then a narrower reserve with a short walk. Views are beautiful but nothing unique for this area. A good place for dogs to play with both on-leash and off-leash areas. No facilities around.

Went to a kids soccer game here. Amazing location and beautiful outlook. Street parking was easy enough. Looks like a great spot for a picnic. Couldn’t see any toilets.
