Brays Bay Reserve is a dog-friendly park in Rhodes with a fenced off-leash area where your pup can explore safely and plenty of shade. Just 750m away, Left of Field is a great nearby spot to grab a coffee with your pup.
Dogs are permitted on-leash under NSW Companion Animals Act. Dogs must be under effective control at all times. Dogs prohibited within 10m of playgrounds and play equipment. Check on-site signage for any additional restrictions.
Great little area with everything you need to have a great time. As you arrive you enter a carpark with plenty of space and a view of the river. A decent size children's playground to keep them occupied as well. Toilet facilities provided too though not the best maintained unfortunately.
Family friendly park with a very beautiful scenery. Kids can play with nice view and a playground. I've seen families celebrating kid's birthday and barbeque with friends. There is plenty of parking and if using bus or train, it is just in the corner. With Italian Restaurant nearby. Recommended *****
We have been coming to this Reserve for a few years now. It is off Homebush bay drive road and has bay views. Kakoda track is right next to the Reserve. Area is very popular and attracts huge crowds on weekdays and weekends. BBQ facilities are available onsite and has a lot of open grassed area. For kids, the Reserve has a sand pit along with two play areas. Visitors need to be mindful of the water as there is no protective barrier.
Definitely worth the visit and walk along the Kokoda Trail - especially on ANZAC Day when the wreaths are there in tribute. The trail itself is a nice walk - not too strenuous. Lots of photo opportunities too. Make sure you stop and read all the signs along the way to get a taste of history.
The waves as dark as midnight Sleek and wavy, trailing down. They splash as pale as moonlight Projects a silvery glow all around. The night so cool and quiet, As the stars twinkle in the sky. And all of nature stands in awe, As this beauty passes by." This was the experience we encountered one evening at this park.
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.
