Stringybark Reserve

Located in Sydney’s Lower North Shore, Stringybark Reserve in Lane Cove North is an unfenced off-leash area within a large community reserve. The setting combines open playing fields with bushland edges, creating a busy neighbourhood hub.

The reserve is known for its mixed layout, which includes sports fields, cricket nets, basketball hoop, tennis wall, playground, BBQ and picnic facilities, and a community garden. Walking tracks also connect the reserve to Stringybark Creek.

Owners should know that the off-leash designation applies to the playing field areas only. Dogs must remain on a lead when in bushland or near the playground. These restrictions are clearly listed by Lane Cove Council.

The reserve connects with the Stringybark Creek walking trail and is close to local shops in Lane Cove, adding convenience for families.

Its open fields are best suited to sociable dogs with reliable recall that enjoy exercising alongside other community activity.

Stringybark Reserve is managed by Lane Cove Council.
