Colbee Park

Colbee Park is a 10 hectare sporting park where McGraths Hill, Vineyard and Oakville meet, with its address in McGraths Hill. Dogs are allowed on a leash, and there is a fenced off-leash dog area inside.

Leads and the off-leash area

Hawkesbury City Council keeps it simple. Your dog stays on a leash everywhere in the park except inside the fenced off-leash area.

The walk

Recent upgrades added accessible concrete paths, so the walking is smooth and even. You pass open sporting fields and a BMX track, with natural areas along the Killarney Chain of Ponds at the park's edge.

A lap of the paths followed by time in the fenced area makes a tidy outing for a young dog.

Max: BMX riders move fast. Keep the leash short near the track.

Pair it with

The intershed cafe in Oakville is a local stop, and Blend at Grantham is another nearby option.

Time your visit around sport if your dog is wary of crowds, and bring water for the dog.
