Leonie Reserve is a dog-friendly park in Berala where dogs are welcome on lead. You'll find shaded areas nearby.
Dogs are permitted on-leash under the NSW Companion Animals Act. Cumberland City Council's Companion Animals Policy states dogs must be under effective control and on a leash in all public places except designated off-leash parks. Dogs are prohibited within 10 metres of playgrounds, food preparation areas, sports fields, school grounds, and wildlife protection areas. This venue is not a designated off-leash park.

Good little park hidden away from the main roads, so not many people know about it. Good equipment for kids of differing ages. Some grass to run around and on. Only improvements I would say would be some benches that are closer to the play equipment (there are 2 further away) and some more shade for the middle of the day. Overall a pretty decent little neighbourhood park.
Leonie Reserve is a small park hidden away with it's main entry point in a narrow dead end street (Leonie Cres) so unless you're a local that knows of it's existence or made a wrong turn into the street, it can go undetected. There is also a small pathway entry from a main road (Kingsland Rd) but without any signage to mark what it is, the pathway can also easily be overlooked as it merely looks like a footpath in between two private residences. The reserve itself consists of a large patch of grass (which is what you see entering from Leonie Cres) but then as you turn the corner, there's a children's playground with the usual slippery slide and swing set. There's also a few random benches scattered around for the adults to keep an eye on the kids, although they would need great eyesight as the seats are quite a distance away.
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.
