St Leonards Park

St Leonards Park in North Sydney features multiple expansive, unfenced sports ovals where dogs are permitted off-leash when no organised sport is scheduled. Note that dogs are not allowed on North Sydney Oval or Bon Andrews Oval — off-leash access is restricted to the remaining ovals only. On-site facilities include toilets, water, and BBQ areas, with formal heritage gardens providing a scenic backdrop to the precinct.

Centrally located on Ridge Street in North Sydney, the park is well-connected by public transport and within walking distance of North Sydney's commercial core. Before visiting, it's worth checking North Sydney Council's sportsground availability page to confirm the correct ovals are free — usage schedules can change frequently.

St Leonards Park suits high-energy dogs needing serious open-field exercise. The unfenced ovals border main roads, so exceptional recall is essential. Formal garden areas and the restricted ovals are strictly on-leash.

St Leonards Park is managed by North Sydney Council.
