About Forsyth Park
Off-Leash Dog Ovals at Forsyth Park
The ovals at Forsyth Park are an off-leash space for dogs, and they stay available around the clock, seven days a week. The off-leash area has no fence, so dogs move freely across the open grass without enclosure. Whenever sports teams train or play on the ovals, dogs must be kept on a leash. Some dogs seen in the park have shown rough play or aggressive behaviour, so owners should keep their pets under close control. The wide open ovals give dogs room to run when no sport is underway.
Inclusive Playground at Forsyth Park
The playground at Forsyth Park is described as inclusive and was built with North Sydney Council. Two inclusive pieces, the Accessible Spinner and the Inclusive Bedway Rocker, form part of its equipment. The playground sits in an open setting with views across Sydney Harbour and expanses of green lawn around it. Its inclusive design makes it suited to children of varying abilities playing side by side.
Sports Fields at Forsyth Park
Forsyth Park has two large open fields that host organised sport on its grounds. Anderson Events runs a social sport competition at the park, with evening games played on Wednesdays between 6:30pm and 9:30pm. Each game lasts 40 minutes, so several matches can be played in a single evening session. The competition runs on evening schedules, which means organised sport at Forsyth Park is concentrated in the late afternoon and night hours on Wednesdays.
