Shortland Brush is a well-regarded dog-friendly park in Lansdowne where dogs are welcome on lead. You'll find BBQs and parking nearby.

Dog rules

Dogs are welcome on-leash at Shortland Brush, a Canterbury-Bankstown Council park. Under the NSW Companion Animals Act 1998, dogs must be kept on a lead and under the effective control of a competent person, 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.

Absolutely lovely spot to wander and see the wildlife, it's a shame that it isn't maintained as much as other parks as it has so much potential!
