Gladesville Reserve

Located in Sydney’s Lower North Shore, Gladesville Reserve in Gladesville includes a sign-posted off-leash dog area. Dogs are permitted off leash all day Monday to Friday, and until 9:30 am on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays. The setting is shared with other community uses, making it a practical option for regular exercise.

The reserve is known for its large open sports fields, basketball and netball courts, skate park, and children’s playground. Council upgrades have improved the turf and drainage, and on-site parking and lighting make it accessible throughout the week.

Owners should note that the off-leash area is unfenced and shared with other users, so reliable recall is important. Time restrictions on weekends and public holidays are enforced, and dogs must remain on lead outside the permitted hours.

The reserve sits close to Gladesville’s main shops and cafés, offering convenience for quick stops before or after a visit.

Gladesville Reserve is best suited to confident, social dogs with reliable recall that are comfortable in larger shared spaces.

Gladesville Reserve is managed by Hunter’s Hill Council.
