Be the first to share a photo of this spot.

Santa Rosa Park is a well-maintained North Ryde park with a designated off-leash area where dogs can run at all times within the marked boundaries. The grass is kept in good condition, and there is drinking water, a playground and toilets nearby. A small habitat-network reserve sits alongside it, adding a bit of natural interest. A friendly, easygoing spot for a regular off-leash walk.

Dog rules

Dogs are allowed off leash at all times in the designated off-leash area shown on Council’s map. Elsewhere in the park they must be on leash. Maximum four dogs per person. Your dog must be under effective control and come back to you when called.

Nice neat medium-size park. Dogs are allowed off leash while there is no sport on the soccer field. Water bowls for dogs to drink out provided by the public at each end and a tap for people to drink out of provided by the council 👍🏼

Love this park to go with dogs off leash. There are public toilets. Now there’s a cold/hot drinks, sandwiches truck in the carpark next to Bridge Road attended by a really nice lady. Open Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays & Sundays from 7:30am to 2:30pm.

Wonderful Park which is home to many great memories 😮. Cricket Pitch is in good condition. Grass is well maintained. Dogs always have a good time. New playground is a good addition. Quarry Rd side has a nice garden.
