Dog rules

Dogs are welcome on-leash at Clarke Reserve, 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.

Small playground with swings a few bench seats one table. Toilets were locked - nice grass area. Ok for a stop on a trip but would try to find a place with open toilets next time

Nice and quiet park in the morning for a run or walk. Lots of birds. There are some hoops for netball? Also there is a public toilet near the bench

Was in Padstow, needed a toilet and went to park to find toilets locked. Park itself looked well maintained and on weekends parking could be a major issue as parking restrictions apply . No parking Sat, Sun and Public Holiday.
