Ridley Oval Fenced Dog Park

Ridley Oval at East Orange pairs a fenced off-leash area at the end of Caroline Street with a large open oval alongside, so you get a secure run and room to roam in one spot. It is an easy, low-key local park off McLachlan Street.

The rules. Dogs off-leash when no organised sport is on the oval; if a game is running, leash up. Keep dogs under effective control, at least 10 metres clear of playground equipment and BBQ areas, and on-lead in those zones. Clean up after your dog, bins are provided.

What's there. A fully fenced designated area plus the adjoining open oval, water for dogs, shade trees and wheelchair-accessible entry.

Getting there. Fenced area at the end of Caroline Street, off McLachlan Street near Edward Street in East Orange. Accessible parking available.

Nearby with the dogs. Dog-friendly cafes around East Orange and central Orange, including spots with covered courtyards, are a short drive for after.

Best mid-week mornings or early afternoons for quiet; weekends and mornings draw the locals. Good for dogs that want a fenced pen plus an open oval to stretch out.
