Hollis Park Off Leash Area

Located in Sydney’s Inner West, Hollis Park in Newtown provides a relaxed off-leash space popular with local residents.

The park is unfenced and has a welcoming, community atmosphere, with large grassy lawns and leafy surrounds that make it a pleasant everyday spot for dogs and their owners.

The off-leash area is spacious and open, giving dogs plenty of room to run. Shady trees and benches provide comfort for owners, and the simple, flat layout makes it easy to supervise pets. Its central position within Newtown ensures steady use by nearby apartment dwellers and families.

As the park is unfenced and bordered by suburban streets, reliable recall is important. The grassy surface can wear thin with heavy use and may become muddy in wet weather. Water facilities are limited, so it’s best to bring your own.

The park is close to Newtown’s cafés, shops, and pubs, making it easy to combine a visit with a stop on King Street or surrounding laneways.

Hollis Park is best suited to social and energetic dogs that enjoy wide open lawns and a lively local atmosphere.

Hollis Park is managed by the City of Sydney Council.
