Rickman Delawney Reserve

Rickman Delawney Reserve is a dog walk in Balga, WA, where the route features playground, picnic shelters, sporting grounds, and natural areas with pathways criss-crossing the park, ideal for walking, scooters, and prams.

The walk

Underfoot it is paved paths and grassed areas.

Lead rules

City of Stirling manages the route. Leash rules change along the way: some sections are lead-on, others are signed for off-lead play. The signage at each section is the authority, so treat the first visit as a scouting run and let the signs set the pace.

Carry water for the dog: drinking points along walks like this are rarely signed, so plan as if there are none. Early morning and dusk are the comfortable windows in Balga for an on-lead stroll of this kind, particularly through the warmer months.

Worth knowing

The Balga suburb guide lists what else is around for the dog. Princess Wallington Reserve is the other local walk worth comparing.
