About Campbell Park
Off-Leash Dog Trial Area at Campbell Park
Campbell Park has a trial off-leash dog area located south of the walking path. A fence was built around the trial area in the third week of September 2025, following community feedback about public safety. Everywhere else in Campbell Park, dogs must be on-lead. Dogs must stay at least 10m away from the playground at all times. The trial opened on 4 August 2025, and its feedback period closed on 7 May 2026. Council's trial results will feed into its Dog Recreation Strategy, with a draft expected on public exhibition in 2026.
Playground at Campbell Park
Campbell Park has a playground for young children, fitted with a climbing frame, an embankment slide and a basket swing. The climbing frame gives children a structured place to climb and build balance. The embankment slide runs down the park's slope, giving kids a different kind of challenge from flat ground. The basket swing adds a third option for children to swing. Together, these three play pieces make the playground a central place for families with young children visiting Campbell Park.
Blue Gum High Forest Bushland at Campbell Park
Campbell Park covers 5,101m² and is described as an open forest parkland. The park contains remnant Blue Gum High Forest vegetation, giving the site a bushland character within the Chatswood suburb. Campbell Park also helps manage drainage in the headwater of Swaines Creek, so the park serves a functional environmental role as well as a recreational one. Campbell Park therefore combines a natural forest setting with a managed drainage function, making it a green space with both ecological and community value.
