Victoria Park

Located in Sydney’s Inner City, Victoria Park in Camperdown provides a spacious off-leash area right next to the University of Sydney.

The park is unfenced and has a lively, community atmosphere, attracting students, locals, and families throughout the week. Its large grassy lawns and central position make it a popular spot for dog owners.

The off-leash space is generous, with wide open fields shaded by mature trees. Seating areas and pathways add convenience, and the flat, open layout makes it easy to keep dogs in sight. Its central location near Broadway also means it’s well-used by apartment dwellers who rely on nearby green spaces.

Because the area is unfenced and bordered by busy roads, reliable recall is essential. The grass surface is generally well maintained but can become muddy after rain and patchy in high-use areas. Owners should bring their own water, as dedicated dog facilities are limited.

The park is within walking distance of cafés, pubs, and shops in both Camperdown and Newtown, with Broadway shopping centre just across the road. It also connects to nearby university grounds and other walking routes.

Victoria Park is best suited to energetic and social dogs that enjoy large open lawns and a busy, community setting.

Victoria Park is managed by the City of Sydney Council.
