Winston Hills Reserve Path

Winston Hills Reserve Path is a dog walk in Baulkham Hills, NSW, where the route winds through bushland and along Toongabbie Creek, offering views of native trees and wildlife.

The walk

Underfoot it is paved and bush tracks.

Lead rules

The Hills Shire Council 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 Baulkham Hills for an on-lead stroll of this kind, particularly through the warmer months.

Worth knowing

There is enough dog-friendly hospitality around Baulkham Hills to turn the walk into an outing; the suburb guide sorts out the options. Castle Hill Heritage Park Loop is the other local walk worth comparing.
