Dog rules

If your dog is in a public place it must be under the effective control of a competent person by means of an adequate chain, cord or leash. Dogs are prohibited in children's play areas, food preparation/consumption areas, recreation areas, public bathing areas, school grounds, child care centres, shopping areas, and wildlife protection areas. Dog faeces must be removed immediately. (Source: City of Ryde — Responsibilities of Pet Owners, ryde.nsw.gov.au.)

It's a lovely small playground for young kids, however there is no shade and too hot to play on a warm summer day

There is a picnic area and a playground for children. Usually clean and there is no graffiti (yet)

Great little park for the kids to play in, there is a fairly short walk way around for the whole family to go for a walk and another short walk to the old brick works. Overall great little place to have fun with the kids.
