Blackwattle Bay Park Off Leash Area

Located in Sydney’s Inner West, Blackwattle Bay Park in Glebe provides a scenic off-leash space along the harbour foreshore. 

The park is unfenced and stretches alongside the water, creating a relaxed atmosphere with open lawns and views across the bay. It’s a favourite with locals who enjoy combining dog exercise with a walk by the water.

The off-leash area is long and open, with plenty of grass for dogs to run while owners take in the harbour outlook. Shaded seating and pathways make it a comfortable spot, and its connection to the Glebe Foreshore Walk adds extra variety for longer outings. Street parking is available nearby, though it can be busy at peak times.

As the park is unfenced and runs close to the water, strong recall is essential. The grassy surface is generally well-kept but can become muddy after rain. There are no dedicated dog facilities, so it’s best to bring your own water and bowl.

The surrounding area is one of Glebe’s highlights, with nearby cafes and the popular Tramsheds precinct only a short walk away. It’s a great option for those wanting to pair a dog outing with coffee or dining nearby.

Blackwattle Bay Park is best suited to confident dogs with reliable recall who enjoy open runs and socialising in a busier harbourside setting.

Blackwattle Bay Park is managed by the City of Sydney Council.
