At its meeting on 26 July 2022, Council resolved to identify new areas across Ryde as potential sites for dog off-leash areas. A report was then brought back to Council at its meeting on 13 December 2022 with a proposal for an additional three new dog off-leash areas. It was resolved that the findings of this report be endorsed and for Council to implement a trial for a 12-month period at the three proposed locations. 

As such, Council is now commencing a 12-month trial of three new dog off-leash areas. The trial will run from Monday 20 March 2023 –  Wednesday 20 March 2024 at the following sites:

  • Warrawong Reserve, Eastwood
  • Brereton Park, East Ryde
  • Fontenoy Park, Macquarie Park (when not used for organised sport)

As part of this trial, Council will install a dog bowl, dog waste bin and bag dispenser at each location.

During the 12-month trial, Council would like to hear your thoughts on the new dog off-leash facilities, what you like and any ideas or suggestions for improvement. See below on how you can Have Your Say. 

Will there be fencing for these dog off-leash areas?

As resolved at Council's December Meeting the three sites are to be managed as unfenced dog off-leash areas.
