Sanders Reserve

Located in Sydney’s Inner West, Sanders Reserve in Canterbury provides a fenced dog park that gives local owners a safe and reliable off-leash space. The semi enclosed area offers a relaxed community feel, making it a popular choice for regular visitors from the surrounding suburbs.

The park’s fenced enclosure is set on a grassy field, with enough space for running and play. Seating is available for owners, and shaded spots help provide comfort on warmer days. Access is straightforward, with nearby parking and pathways connecting to the rest of the reserve.

Because the area is fenced, it is well suited for dogs still learning recall or those that require a secure play space. The grass can become muddy after rain, and facilities such as bins and water points are limited, so bringing your own supplies is recommended.

Sanders Reserve is close to Canterbury shops and within easy reach of local cafés and amenities, making it convenient for a post-walk coffee stop. The broader reserve also connects to surrounding residential streets, providing options for extended walks on-leash. This park is best suited to small and medium dogs, puppies, or those needing a safe and enclosed environment.

Sanders Reserve is managed by Burwood Council.
