James Hoskin Reserve is a dog-friendly park in Eastwood where dogs are welcome on lead. You'll find shaded areas and BBQs nearby, while Afterglow Eatery | Epping Cafe is around 750 metres away for an easy post-walk coffee.

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.)

Great place for kids and family. Well maintained Bbq, seating, play equipment, exercise equipment, water taps, dustbins. But no toilets :(

Great local park. Recently undergone a makeover. It has BBQ and shaded seating facilities. The play equipment is good and adequate for a small local park. There is exercise equipment further down and a large area of grass for picnics/exploring.
