Weekley Park is off-leash in the open grassed area between Percival Road and the central path during evening and early morning hours (5pm–9am, or 4pm–9am outside daylight saving). It's unfenced with roads nearby, so reliable recall is important. The park has good shade, a playground, and seating, and it's a short walk from Stanmore station. On-leash at all other times.

Eve Sharpe Reserve is a small, shaded park in Stanmore with a relaxed local feel.

Frequently asked questions

How are venues ordered?

By default, venues are sorted by access confidence. Confirmed venues appear first — these have the strongest evidence that dogs are welcome. Likely venues follow, then unknown. Within each group, venues are ordered by their Dog Happiness Score. You can also sort alphabetically by suburb or venue name.

Are dogs allowed in venues in Stanmore?

Dogs are allowed in 9 confirmed dog-friendly venues, and there are another 3 more that are likely dog-friendly in Stanmore. Dog access varies between venues. We recommend checking the individual venue page — and confirming directly with the venue before a special trip, as policies can change.

How does Dog Happiness decide if a venue is dog-friendly?

We check council regulations, venue websites and FAQ pages, and community reviews. Council and venue-operator sources carry the most weight. Where confirmed or clearly identified, we show the access status and any conditions that apply. Access information is based on the best evidence available and may not always reflect the latest changes.

What do Confirmed, Likely, and Unknown mean?

Confirmed means we have strong evidence — typically from a council source, venue website, or consistent community reports — that dogs are welcome. Conditions may still apply. Likely means positive signals suggest dogs are welcome, but we haven’t found official confirmation yet. Unknown means we don’t have enough evidence yet. It doesn’t mean dogs aren’t welcome — just that we haven’t been able to verify.

Can venue dog policies change?

Yes. Venue policies can change at any time — especially at pubs, cafés, and other hospitality venues. A venue that was dog-friendly last month may have changed its policy. We update our information regularly, but we always recommend checking directly with the venue if you’re planning a special trip.
