A large fully fenced off-leash showground with a separate small dog area, lit into the evening.
Frenchs Forest Showground is the big fenced option on the Beaches. The whole showground is open for dogs to run, with a smaller fenced area next door for small and shy dogs.
Lights stay on until 9.30pm, which makes it a winter favourite for after-work runs.
An inclusive playground and toilets sit right alongside, so it works for families with dogs and kids in tow. There is also outdoor exercise equipment if the humans want a workout of their own. Weekends get busy, so weekday visits are calmer for nervous dogs.
