Burns Bay Reserve

Located in Sydney’s Lower North Shore, Burns Bay Reserve in Riverview is an unfenced off-leash area within a large riverside park. 

The open setting combines sports fields and natural surrounds, creating a popular community space for recreation.

The reserve is known for its expansive playing fields, playground, picnic areas, and water access along Burns Bay. Walking tracks extend through the surrounding bushland, adding variety for longer outings.

Owners should know that dogs are permitted off-leash on the open playing fields only when organised games are not in progress. Dogs must remain on a lead in bushland areas and are not allowed in the playground. These rules are clearly defined by Lane Cove Council.

The reserve connects to the Lane Cove River walking network and is close to local shops in Riverview, adding convenience for families.

With its large unfenced fields, the reserve best suits active dogs with reliable recall that enjoy running across open grassed areas.

Burns Bay Reserve is managed by Lane Cove Council.
