Allen Robertson Reserve is a well-regarded dog-friendly park in Blacktown where dogs are welcome on lead.
Dogs are welcome on-leash at Allen Robertson Reserve, 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.
The pitches in this park are not in good repair as the matches I umpired where only able to use one end of the pitch, due to trip hazards on one end.
This reserve have 2 recently updated cricket nets. Both nets have appropriate width and has a lot of space for long run ups. Centre astro pitch is in neat shape too. The only aspect council could have improved is the drainage. With slight rain too the training nets get soaked. The run up at one of the nets has a depression where water ponding occurs. I highly recommend cricket enthusiasts to come and check out the nets. Good for spinners. The ball turns too.
We check council regulations, official sources, and community reviews to verify dog access at every venue. Access may change — always check on-site signage. Something wrong or missing? Submit feedback. How it works.
