Green Ban Parks Off Leash Area

Located in Sydney’s Inner City, Green Ban Park in Chippendale offers a small off-leash space with a strong community feel.

The park is unfenced and provides a simple grassy area, popular with locals living in nearby terraces and apartments. Its name pays tribute to the 1970s Green Ban movement, and it continues to serve as a valued neighbourhood space.

The off-leash area is compact, with open grass for play and seating for owners. Shaded trees provide some cover, and the park’s modest size makes it easy to supervise dogs. While not large, it offers a practical and welcoming spot for daily outings.

As the park is unfenced and surrounded by residential streets, reliable recall is essential. The grass can wear thin with heavy use, and there are no dedicated water facilities, so owners should bring their own.

The park is within walking distance of Chippendale cafés, Broadway shopping centre, and nearby university campuses, making it easy to combine a visit with local errands.

Green Ban Park is best suited to smaller and calmer dogs, or those living close by who need a convenient exercise space.

Green Ban Park is managed by the City of Sydney Council.
