Epping Oval

Located in Sydney’s Upper North Shore, Epping Oval in Epping includes a designated off-leash dog area set within a large community sporting reserve. The open space provides plenty of room for dogs to stretch out and socialise, while the wider oval has a lively, family-friendly atmosphere.

The dog area is known for its grassy surface, shaded sections, and seating for owners. Parking is available close by, and paths around the oval make it easy to extend walks beyond the off-leash zone.

Owners should note that the off-leash area is unfenced and is not available during organised sports events, so strong recall is important. The grass can also become worn in high-use spots and muddy after rain.

The oval is centrally located near Epping shops and cafés, making it convenient for quick stops before or after a visit.

Epping Oval is best suited to confident, social dogs with reliable recall that are comfortable in open, shared spaces.

Epping Oval is managed by Hornsby Shire Council.
