Walking Penshurst: the local loops
Penshurst Park — A pleasant loop around a local park with sports fields and open green spaces. Lead-on throughout unless council signage says otherwise. Benches and shade appear often enough for a slow dog.
Hurstville Oval — A walk around the perimeter of a historic oval, often with cricket or other sports in progress. Lead-on throughout unless council signage says otherwise. Benches and shade appear often enough for a slow dog.
Gannons Park — A large park offering open spaces, sports fields, and some bushland edges, with specific off-leash areas for dogs. Off-lead applies in the signed sections; carry the lead anyway. A coffee stop is never far on the way back.
