Pet policy
Dogs on lead throughout; not a council off-leash area, and keep 10 m from playgrounds (Wollongong City Council).
Greenacre Road Reserve is a patch of council open space in Gwynneville, tucked beside Greenacre Road where the Fairy Creek corridor runs past Wiseman Park. It suits a short, easy walk with the dog on lead.
Lead rules
Wollongong City Council does not list the reserve as an off-leash area, so dogs stay on a lead the whole way. Keep them at least 10 metres back from playgrounds and sports facilities in use.
The walk
Sealed shared paths follow the creek through the corridor. Joining them with the park edges makes an informal loop of roughly a kilometre or a bit more.
Expect a small urban creek, regenerating native trees, stormwater basins and open grass. Street parking is along Greenacre Road and the nearby residential streets.
Pepsi: Bins and water are thin on the ground along the minor paths, so pack bags and a bottle before you set off.
Pair it with
Finish with a coffee at POD Emporium & Espresso or The Giddy Goat in Keiraville.
It is a good weekday loop for a steady, lead-trained dog that likes a sniff along the creek.
