About this park

District-level sporting reserve with wide grassed areas and tall gums — cool even on a warm day, with space for a long recall run.

Off-leash rules

Off-leash on the lower grassed areas outside sport times; on lead near the playground, car parks and creek. Bushland beyond the reserve is on-leash.

Always confirm current signage at the gate — councils update rules seasonally.

Wentworth Falls Reserve

Cool-air bushland edge with towering eucalypts and dappled shade. Not fenced and close to walking trails, so keep a lead handy near the tracks.
