Crestwood Reserve Fenced Dog Park

Crestwood Reserve's fenced dog park sits at the southern end of the reserve in Baulkham Hills, tucked into a larger sporting reserve with playgrounds and picnic shelters. The draw is a fully enclosed off-leash run with separate zones for big and small dogs, so a timid dog gets its own space away from the fast crowd.

The dog setup

Both sections are fully fenced with a double-gate airlock entry, so close both gates behind you before unclipping. Inside the fence is off-leash, but leash up the moment you arrive or leave, and anywhere in the wider reserve outside the enclosure.

Dogs need to be supervised at all times, and any dog showing aggression should be taken out straight away. Pick up after your dog, with bags and bins provided near the gates.

Pepsi: bring a towel if it has rained. The enclosure is a dirt and grass mix and it holds water badly, so the dry-weather surface and the wet-weather surface are two different outings.

What you'll find

Inside the fence there is a water tap and bowl, some shade and bench seating, plus basic agility equipment. The wider reserve adds public toilets, picnic shelters, a playground and a paved walking loop, which covers the on-lead leg of the visit nicely.

Getting there

The dog park sits off Chapel Lane near Crestwood Drive, with parking on the reserve's southern side. It is open around the clock and busiest after school and on weekend mornings, so early slots are the calm ones.

Close by with the dogs

Balcombe Heights Reserve Fenced Dog Park is the other enclosed run in Baulkham Hills if Crestwood is crowded. For a coffee stop with the dog, PiccoloMe Bella Vista is close by.
