Mort Bay Park

Located in Sydney’s Inner West, Mort Bay Park in Balmain offers a large off-leash dog exercise area set along the harbour foreshore. The park is unfenced but spacious, with open grassy fields and sweeping water views that make it a popular destination for locals.

The off-leash zone provides plenty of room for running and social play, with shady trees, seating, and walking paths around the park. Its size and setting make it suitable for both active exercise and relaxed visits.

Because the space is unfenced and bordered by water and roads, reliable recall is important. The grass is generally well maintained but can become muddy after rain, and owners should bring water as dog-specific facilities are limited.

The park sits close to Balmain’s shops, cafés, and Balmain Wharf, making it easy to combine dog exercise with errands or a foreshore stroll.

Mort Bay Park is best suited to confident, energetic dogs that enjoy large open spaces and busy community settings.

Mort Bay Park is managed by the Inner West Council.
