Jane Starkey Park (Thornleigh Dog Park)

Located in Sydney’s Upper North Shore, Jane Starkey Park in Cherrybrook offers a fenced off-leash dog park within a leafy suburban reserve. The secure enclosure provides dogs with a safe space to run and play while owners enjoy the relaxed community setting.

The dog park is known for its grassy surface, shaded areas, and seating that make it comfortable for regular visits. Parking is available close by, and the fencing gives peace of mind for puppies, small breeds, or dogs still learning recall.

Owners should note that while the fencing adds security, the ground can become muddy after rain and the space may feel limited during peak times. Supervising dogs closely ensures safe socialising in the enclosed area.

The reserve is a short drive from Cherrybrook Village, where shops and cafés provide options for a stop before or after a visit.

Jane Starkey Park is best suited to small and medium-sized dogs, puppies, or those that need a secure environment to play safely.

Jane Starkey Park is managed by Hornsby Shire Council.
