Ryde Park is a well-loved Ryde park with an enclosed off-leash area, pristine grass and a cafe on site. Dogs can run off-leash at all times within the fenced area, which is roomy enough for all sizes, with a maximum of four dogs per person. There is a playground, a small fountain and a scooter area for families too. A polished, well-equipped spot for an off-leash visit.
Dog rules

Personal favourite of mine for many years. A highlight being the oval and its pristine grass. Located inside is also a cafe, small fountain, kids playground, scooter track and two more ovals. However most recently, it has been disappointing to see dog owners and their blatant disregard for the park rules regarding leashing and proximity to playground. Witnessing their failure to adhere to these measures and in the process being a nuisance to other people’s right to silence. Other than that, would highly recommend.

This place is awesome! Thumbs up with the scooter area which is very good for toddlers. The dog off-leash area is big for all sizes of dogs. I find the playground small where they have limited equipment. Basketball court is also available for dads, young adults and young at heart. Walking grounds is nice with trees all over the place if you feel walking. Cafe is also available at certain hours. There is also a garden if your a photo shoot lover. Overall, this place is family friendly and must visit if you have active kids. The park needs more shed and parking. 😄👌👍

A huge park that offers a lot of recreational activities. The best parking is through Argyle avenue, which offers 4h free parking on weekdays. There is a basketball court, football ground and Kids playing area. Childrens playing area a has a few rides and small pool for kids. There is a scooter track which kids will definitely enjoy.There is a nice cafe inside the park too. The garden around the park is also nice. You can spend some good time with your family here.
