Astrolabe Park Off Leash Area

Astrolabe Park is a spacious off‑leash dog area in Daceyville, located on Isaac Smith Street. As a versatile public green space, it blends open grasslands with walking paths and heritage features, offering a refreshing setting for both pups and local residents to enjoy.

The park spans over 9 hectares, giving dogs plenty of room to roam freely across open lawns and walking tracks. Facilities include a half basketball court, public toilets, and shaded areas—making it a convenient spot for extended visits with family and pets. The park’s heritage connection to the Botany Water Reserves adds a subtle historical charm to the surroundings.

Astrolabe Park is unfenced, so strong recall and supervision are essential as dogs explore the open terrain. Shade and benches provide comfort for owners, while nearby parking and easy access from Daceyville make it a practical choice for local outings.

This versatile park is ideal for medium to large dogs with good recall, as well as owners looking for a scenic, low-pressure place where play and peaceful walking can easily coexist.

Astrolabe Park is managed by Bayside Council. You can view its location alongside all other council-managed off-leash areas on the map below.
