Paringa Reserve

Located in Sydney’s Inner West, Paringa Reserve in Balmain is a small off-leash dog exercise area within a quiet residential pocket.

The space is unfenced but grassy, offering a simple spot for local dogs to run and play.

The off-leash area includes open grass with a few shaded trees and benches. Its compact layout makes it better suited for short visits and casual play rather than extended runs.

Because the reserve is unfenced and bordered by nearby streets, dogs should have strong recall. Facilities are limited, so owners should bring their own water and bags.

The reserve is close to Balmain’s cafés and shops, making it convenient for quick outings with dogs.

Paringa Reserve is best suited to smaller or calmer dogs that enjoy relaxed neighbourhood spaces.

Paringa Reserve is managed by the Inner West Council.
