Hudson Park Fenced Dog Park

Hudson Park Fenced Dog Park on Arthur Street, Strathfield, is a fully enclosed off-leash area with separate zones for small and large dogs, reopened in March 2025 after upgrades to the adjoining Hudson Park Driving Range. The double-gate entry and complete fencing make it a genuinely secure option if you want your dog off leash without worrying about traffic or a bolt for the gate.

The rules. Dogs must be under effective control at all times, even though the area is off-leash. Owners are required to pick up after their dogs, with waste bins provided on site. Always check the current rules on the Strathfield Council leash-free areas page before visiting, as hours or zoning can change.

What's there. The park has natural grass, some shade, water stations, and separate secure zones for large and small dogs so boisterous play stays matched to size. Night lighting extends usability into the evening. Public toilets are available in the broader Hudson Park precinct.

Getting there. The park is at 119 Arthur Street, Strathfield, with parking available in the Hudson Park lot. Being fully fenced, it is set back from the traffic on the surrounding roads, which is one of its main selling points for nervous or excitable dogs.

Nearby with the dogs. Olive Tree Cafe, within Hudson Park itself, has a pet-friendly covered outdoor area and is open Wednesday to Sunday for brunch and coffee, useful for a coffee stop straight after a run-around. Confirm current opening days before you go.

Weekend mornings and weekday evenings draw the biggest crowds of local dogs. Mid-morning or mid-afternoon on a weekday is your best bet for a quieter run, especially useful if your dog is reactive around groups.
