Extra Information / On Leash Walk Sheet Download:

Sweetwater Creek Reserve is a nature reserve area so it is important that dogs are kept on a leash in this area.

Be careful crossing the Nepean Hwy to access the toilets and bins as this is a very busy stretch of road. 

When using on leash dog parks remember that not everyone likes to interact with dogs.  Please ensure that dogs are kept on a leash at all times in these parks and that you remember to pick up after your dog.

Remember to take plenty of fresh water for your dogs as they will be thirsty after a long walk.
