36th Battalion Park

Located in Sydney’s Inner West, 36th Battalion Park in Leichhardt offers a compact off-leash area within a quiet residential neighbourhood.

The park is unfenced and has a relaxed, local feel, making it a convenient spot for nearby residents to give their dogs a daily run. Its modest size means it functions more as a community pocket park than a destination.

The off-leash space is grassy with a few shady trees and benches for owners. Its flat, open design makes it easy to supervise dogs, and while not large, it provides a practical break for exercise and play.

Because the area is unfenced and bordered by surrounding streets, dogs with reliable recall are best suited here. The grass can wear thin with regular use and after rain, and there are no dedicated dog facilities, so owners should bring their own water.

The park is close to Leichhardt cafés and shops, and connects easily to other nearby reserves, giving locals options for longer walks.

36th Battalion Park is best suited to smaller or calmer dogs who don’t require large spaces.

36th Battalion Park is managed by the Inner West Council.
