Kissing Point Park

Kissing Point Park sits on the Parramatta River foreshore in Putney, with wide water views and a paved path that joins the Ryde Riverwalk. Dogs stay on lead here.

Leads on, and where to let go

The City of Ryde requires dogs to be leashed in Kissing Point Park, a shared space beside a playground. For off-lead time, nearby Bennelong Park on Waterview Street is a designated off-leash foreshore area.

The walk

The paved path is part of the shared walking and cycling network, so expect bikes. Along the way you watch ferries on the river and pass boat ramps and green parkland.

Mature trees give some shade along the foreshore, and bins are spread through the park and picnic areas. Parking is on site off Waterview Street.

Pepsi: There is a drinking station with a dog bowl, so top up before you head along the river.

Pair it with

Peatree Coffees and Charles Street Kitchen Putney are both close for a coffee after the walk.

When to go

Weekday mornings are quieter on the shared path. The flat, paved surface suits older dogs, and cooler hours help on the open stretches in summer.
