St Helens Park Reserve

On the corner of Kellerman Drive and Appin Road, St Helens Park Reserve links open parkland with native bushland corridors on the suburb's fringe. Most of it is on-lead walking, with a fenced off-lead area close by.

Leads and the off-lead area

Campbelltown City Council requires dogs on a lead on the connecting paths and bushland reserves. The signed exception is the fenced dog exercise area at Mary Brookes Reserve on Kellerman Drive.

That area has an internal path, agility equipment, seating and water, and is usually open from 7am to 6pm.

The walk

Surfaces change as you go, from paved park footpaths to graded fire trails and dirt bush tracks. Views swing between green parkland, the suburban edge and bush.

The tracks tie into longer on-lead routes toward Rosemeadow, so you can make the walk as long as your dog likes. Benches and tables sit along the paths.

Getting started

Parking is on the local streets near the park entries, including Kellerman Drive. Bins are provided, and regulars expect you to pick up.

Pair it with

Grab a coffee afterwards at XS Espresso Rosemeadow or The Sweet Capp.

Mornings and late afternoons are when the local dog crowd is out, which suits social dogs. Bring water for the bush stretches.
