Rope Walk Park Off Leash Area

Located in Sydney’s Inner City, Rope Walk Park in Waterloo offers a small off-leash space set within a dense residential area.

The park is unfenced and has a relaxed neighbourhood feel, providing local residents with a convenient spot for short dog outings. Its compact size makes it more of a community park than a destination.

The off-leash area is grassy with some shady trees and seating for owners. The simple, open design makes it easy to supervise dogs, and while not large, it provides a welcome pocket of green space within an urban setting.

Because the park is unfenced and bordered by nearby streets, dogs with reliable recall are best suited here. The grass can wear down with heavy use or after rain, and there are no dog-specific facilities, so bringing water is recommended.

The park is close to Waterloo’s cafés and local shops, with larger off-leash areas such as Alexandria Park and Sydney Park nearby for those wanting more space.

Rope Walk Park is best suited to smaller or calmer dogs who need a convenient exercise spot close to home.

Rope Walk Park is managed by the City of Sydney Council.
