Dog rules

Dogs are welcome on-leash at Playford Park Playground, a Canterbury-Bankstown Council park. Under the NSW Companion Animals Act 1998, dogs must be kept on a lead and under the effective control of a competent person, and are prohibited within 10 metres of children's play equipment and food preparation areas. Off-leash exercise is permitted only in Council's designated off-leash areas.

We had a great family picnic here. Improvements have increased the attractiveness of the park. Several shelters, seating and a great playground. No toilets is always a consideration when taking kids for an extended period of time.

It's amazing place to go with kids. It's versatile and offers a lot to do. You can play on the playground, there is green grass gourd next to it for you to free play. There is also bbq so u can plan a birthday party.

Newly updated playground in a great location with ample parking. Water fountain and gym equipment near by but it doesn’t have a toilet and offers little sun shade. Not ideal on hot days as the slides and equipment are burning hot.

Its good but I the concern person add pullups bar it will be the best out door gym in in such a peace full location. Young kids comes to play football can do good kind of workouts in pullup bar. Then It will become one of the best park and out door gym in sydney with lots of equipment.
