Off-leash dog parks in Inner West, NSW

Inner West Council has one of Sydney's longest lists of off-leash areas – including several fully fenced dog parks (Enmore, GreenWay in Lewisham, O'Dea Reserve, Tempe) and many sports grounds that are off-leash when no organised sport is on. Several parks use timed hours that shift with daylight saving.

Council rules to know

Dogs are not allowed in children's play areas or within 10 metres of one, or within 10 metres of food preparation/consumption areas.
Some areas are time-shared: off-leash only during set hours or when organised sport isn't on.
Blackmore Park, Leichhardt is on-leash only from 7 August 2026 – council suggests nearby Hawthorne Canal Reserve instead.
