Off-Leash Dog Access on the Ovals at Willoughby Park
Dogs can run off-leash on the sports ovals at Willoughby Park before 9am and after 4pm on weekdays. The no off-leash rule applies on weekends, when dogs must be on a lead, and it is actively enforced at the park. There is no fully fenced dog area and no small dog area at Willoughby Park, so the off-leash ovals are the only place for dogs to run free. Paved paths through the park suit dogs on a lead.
Picnic Tables and BBQs at Willoughby Park
Willoughby Park has picnic tables and barbecues in a fully fenced area beside the playground. The picnic area sits under gum trees next to the oval, so the trees provide natural shade for picnics. The fenced area keeps young children away from the surrounding grassy parkland, which is unfenced and open to the wider reserve. Picnic tables and barbecues make the park suitable for a family lunch outdoors.
