John Wearne Reserve

John Wearne Reserve in Carlingford is a council approved, fully fenced dog park with two separate enclosures designed for small and large dogs, set within a recently upgraded community precinct. Mature trees provide generous shade across the off-leash area, and the park includes water bubblers, poo bag dispensers, and perimeter seating for owners. The double-gated enclosures ensure secure access and help manage interactions between dogs of different sizes.

The wider reserve sits at the corner of Farnell Avenue and Balaka Drive with on-site parking, and includes a Safari-themed playground with shade sails and soft-fall surfaces, a skate park, basketball court, fitness station, multi-use sports court, and barbecue and picnic areas.

John Wearne Reserve is well suited to families wanting a comprehensive outing that caters to both dogs and children, as well as dog owners seeking a shaded, well-equipped park in the Carlingford area.

John Wearne Reserve is managed by City of Parramatta Council.
