Greenway Park Fenced Dog Park

Tucked inside the sprawling Greenway Park sporting complex on Shepherds Drive, Cherrybrook, this fully fenced off-leash dog park is a reliable favourite among Hills District locals — and it's easy to see why it's racked up over 200 reviews. Managed by Hornsby Shire Council, the enclosure features secure double-gated entries, giving owners peace of mind when their excited pups are bouncing through the gates. Once inside, your dog will find plenty of greenery to explore, natural grass to roll around on, and a water tap to cool off at after a good run. Ample parking in the broader complex makes arrival stress-free, and waste bins are conveniently provided so you can easily clean up after your mate.

It's worth noting that the terrain here includes a noticeable slope — a feature frequently mentioned by reviewers. While the incline is brilliant for tiring out high-energy breeds and even doubles as a handy spot for casual dog training, it does mean less-active or older dogs might prefer taking it easy near the flat spots. The park offers partial shade from the surrounding trees, but much of the space is quite open, so be sure to bring extra water on scorching Sydney days. After heavy rain, that natural grass surface has a tendency to get a little muddy, so perhaps pack a towel for the car ride home! The community has discussed creating separate sections for small dogs and larger breeds, but for now, they share the open space harmoniously. Some handy play equipment adds a bit of fun and agility into the mix, too.

Because it's located near broader sports facilities, you'll often find a friendly, community vibe. If you're keen to explore the area further, the nearby Thornleigh Dog Park offers another great off-leash option, while Coolong Reserve Fenced Dog Park is also worth a look. After your pup has burned off some energy, the short drive over to The Monday Morning Cafe is the perfect way to wrap up the morning with a well-earned coffee.
