Ryelands Drive Reserve Dog Park

Ryelands Drive Reserve is a fully fenced, off-leash dog park in suburban Berwick, on Sunnyside Drive. It is open 24 hours, and the secure fencing plus a leafy, social feel make it the local go-to for a safe off-leash run.

The rules. The park is fully enclosed, so dogs can be off-leash within the fence at any hour, but they must stay under effective voice control and you need to supervise them, especially when it is busy. Clean up after your dog; bag dispensers and bins are on site.

What's there. A large grassy area for running sits alongside tree-lined sections for sniffing, with a few natural logs to clamber on. There is a dog drinking fountain with a bowl, bench seating for owners, and mature trees plus a small shelter for shade. After heavy rain the ground can get muddy.

Getting there. The address is 44 Sunnyside Drive, Berwick. Dedicated parking runs along Sunnyside Drive near the entrance. It is reached through residential streets from Berwick Village, with local bus services in the surrounding area.

When to go. It is busiest on Sunday mornings, Friday evenings and across Saturday. Monday and Thursday are the quietest. For a calmer, roomier run with a dog that finds crowds stressful, aim for a weekday morning.
