Park overview

What to expect at Centennial Park

One of Sydney's largest social walking areas, with long loops, open lawns and designated spaces where dogs can exercise off leash.

  • Long walking loops
  • Large open lawns
  • Popular weekend meeting point
  • Multiple water and rest stops nearby

Dog access and responsible visits

Dog access changes between areas. Keep your dog leashed unless signs identify an off-leash zone, and give horses, cyclists and wildlife space.

Check before every visit. Council rules, temporary closures and event restrictions can change. Signs at the park take priority over this guide.

Meeting another PawPal safely

Use PawPal messages to agree on a public meeting point and start with a parallel leashed walk. Do not publish a home address, phone number or a dog's precise routine.
