Currie Road Dog Park

Currie Road Dog Off-leash Area sits just off Currie Road in Forestville, next to the main Forestville Park sportsground, and offers 24/7 off-leash access on an open, grassy block with a bit of natural shade. It is a low-key, locals' spot rather than a destination park, which suits dogs who just want space to run without a crowd.

The rules. Off-leash is permitted around the clock, but the area is only partially fenced, so keep an eye on dogs with patchy recall. Council asks owners to keep dogs out of the bushland and creek line to the east of the site, and to pick up after their dogs as usual.

What's there. Bench seating and tree shade are about it. There is no tap or water fountain on site, so bring a bowl and your own water. The grass can get long between mowing rounds.

Getting there. The park is on Currie Road, just before the entrance to the Forestville Park sportsground car park, with additional street parking nearby. Bus stops on Warringah Road are a short walk away.

Nearby with the dogs. A few pet-friendly cafes with outdoor seating are around the Forestville shops on Darley Street, a short drive away.

Council visitor data points to Sunday and Monday mornings and Friday evenings as the busiest windows, with Sunday evenings usually the quietest. Weekday mornings are a safe bet if you want the run of the place.
