About Cavanagh Reserve
Sports Facilities at Cavanagh Reserve
Cavanagh Reserve Tennis runs the reserve's two courts, which have a synthetic grass surface and lighting. Cavanagh Reserve also has an artificial cricket wicket for cricket matches and training. The Lalor Park Kookaburras rugby league club plays its home games here, so the sports fields are busy on fixture days. A canteen serves food and drinks to players and spectators during sporting events.
Dogs at Cavanagh Reserve
Cavanagh Reserve welcomes dogs on lead. Under New South Wales law, dogs at the reserve must be leashed and kept under effective control. Dogs must also stay at least 10 metres away from children's play equipment and food preparation areas, which means keeping clear of the playground and of the canteen on match days. Off-leash exercise is allowed only in Blacktown City Council's designated off-leash areas, so Cavanagh Reserve suits leashed walks rather than free running.
