Hughes Avenue Reserve

Hughes Avenue Reserve is a small but thoughtfully envisioned trial off-leash area in Mascot, tucked just off Botany Road.

Surrounded by suburban quiet, it offers a contained and convenient spot for small dogs, with established seating and easy on-street parking that makes it a practical choice for quick outings.

The area is unfenced and compact, meaning it’s best suited for dogs who are steady on recall. Natural boundary pillars help subtly define the space—even so, supervision is essential. While there’s no dedicated water station or play equipment, the seating provides a moment of respite for owners, and the reserve’s proximity to Mascot Square makes it easy to combine the visit with a local errand or stroll.

This reserve is best suited for small dogs, beginner recall walkers, or owners seeking a low-intensity, close-to-home spot that doesn’t feel like a major outing.

Hughes Avenue Reserve is managed by Bayside Council.
