Dog rules

Dogs are welcome on-leash at Popondetta Park, a Blacktown City Council park. Under the NSW Companion Animals Act 1998, dogs must be kept on a lead and under effective control, and are prohibited within 10 metres of children's play equipment and food preparation areas. Off-leash exercise is permitted only in Council's designated off-leash areas.

Amazing synthetic field! Such a lovely field to play on. Field is easy to locate (Mount Druitt Rangers) Home ground. Facilities are clean. Great Canteen and BBQ.

"**Popondetta Park** is a decent spot for casual outdoor activities. The open space is great for a walk or a jog, and there are fields for sports like soccer and cricket. However, the park could use some more maintenance – the grass was a bit overgrown in some areas, and the seating and picnic areas could benefit from an upgrade. The lack of amenities like clean restrooms and adequate shade can be a downside, especially during hot weather. Overall, it's a nice local park for basic outdoor fun, but it could use some improvements to enhance the experience."

Google maps takes you to netball courts or kids play area. Soccer fields are about 2 mins away

A long park underneath powerlines. Well kept by Blacktown City Council with some facilities south of Bougainville Road. The rest of the park currently doesn't have anything in it except grass.
