The vast open spaces of Riverside Gardens make this Bayswater location one of the best suburban free-run areas around. Add to this; riverside frontage with a small beach, BBQ facilities, and shady gazebos then you have a valuable community facility that is a great meeting place for dogs and handlers alike.

The gardens are landscaped so as to provide interest and variety but without intruding on the generous free-run area. They are bordered by a strictly no-go bird sanctuary to the North, and boatsheds to the South. The network of footpaths is shared with occasional cyclists.
