Lookes Avenue Reserve

Located in Sydney’s Inner West, Lookes Avenue Reserve in Balmain East is an unfenced off-leash dog park with harbour views. The grassy slope runs down to the seawall, creating a small but scenic space for local dogs to exercise.

The reserve is open at all times for off-leash play. There are no dog-specific facilities, so owners should bring water and bags. Its size makes it best for shorter visits rather than extended runs.

Because the area is unfenced and close to the water, dogs should have reliable recall. The space is quiet compared to larger sporting grounds, with a relaxed neighbourhood feel.

The reserve is within walking distance of Balmain East cafés and the ferry wharf, making it convenient to combine a dog visit with local outings.

Lookes Avenue Reserve is best suited to smaller or calmer dogs that enjoy open grass and relaxed settings near the harbour.

Lookes Avenue Reserve is managed by the Inner West Council.
