Furry friends

We’re fortunate in Mosman to enjoy such a wide range of parks, reserves and designated beaches perfect for taking our dogs out for a walk. It’s great for fitness and social connection, for both us and our furry friends.

To help everyone enjoy our shared public spaces, it’s important for dog owners to follow the guidelines for on‑leash, off‑leash and restricted areas.

Our rangers are out taking the opportunity to chat with the community and answer any questions around responsible pet ownership. Understanding these guidelines helps ensure that parks and beaches remain safe, welcoming and enjoyable for the whole community.

The Pets and Animals section on our website makes it easy to plan your walk, with a simple guide to leash‑free areas, on‑leash zones and restricted locations. It also provides information on dog and cat registration, along with general advice on responsible pet ownership - from protecting wildlife to disposing of dog waste properly and caring for your pet.

We are committed to being a genuinely pet‑friendly Council, always working to provide safe off‑leash opportunities, maintaining designated on‑leash areas, and ensuring all residents can enjoy Mosman’s beautiful parks, reserves and beaches.
