Federal Park in Annandale is a lively, multi-use green space that blends sport, play, and dog-friendly fun along the Glebe Foreshore. It’s home to a dedicated off-leash dog park, making it a go-to spot for local dog owners to socialise and exercise their pups. Shady areas and seating invite relaxed picnics, while the park’s open lawns and water access create a refreshing backdrop for both people and pets.
Families love the large playground with climbing structures, slides, and a sandpit, while active visitors can take advantage of the skate park, adult exercise equipment, and open sports fields. There’s also a unique dog memorial tucked under the light rail arches — a thoughtful touch for the community of dog lovers who frequent the area. With public toilets and easy links to nearby Jubilee Park and Rozelle Bay light rail stations, Federal Park offers convenience alongside its vibrant, inclusive atmosphere.
