Dog rules

–Canterbury-Bankstown City Council's "Pet-friendly parks and reserves" page states: "please remember to keep your dog on a leash unless the reserve is classified as a 'dog off-leash area'." The council's "Animals and pets" page summarises this as: "Keeping your dog on a leash, unless in a designated off-leash area." This venue is not on Canterbury-Bankstown's published off-leash list, so the council's general on-leash rule applies under the NSW Companion Animals Act 1998.

It's a great park, an amazing place to run, walk, ride bikes, and play soccer and cricket. The Sunset here is also stunning.

Riverwood Squadron of the Australian Air League Parade there every Friday night from 7pm. Youth in Aviation, and they have the best marching band.

They maintained well. If you want to spend some good time jogging or walking it’s one of the best places. The walking tracks have enough spaces. The pitch is also good for turf. It’s also a pathway from Bonds Rd to Belmore Rd.
