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.)

What people say
Such a gorgeous park and playing fields. Council want to develop it with concrete walking path, a basketball court and gym equipment. Why!!!
A nice park with a contained playground just outside the on-site childcare centre and area for sports and seating to watch the sports event. There are bathrooms which are locked out of park hours and a barbeque with seating area for a party.
Good pitch ,the grass maintenance is what have concerned me. Uneven Grass around the pitch. Pots and holes around the pitch and across the Ground. Long Boundaries on one side and shorter on other
Grass is usually too thick for cricket. Even when they mow it clippings are left on the field. Bathrooms are almost always locked. We once had a full day junior cricket match and the code council provided didn't work. Kids had to go to a service station nearby.
