About Harry Dennison Park
Fenced Playspace at Harry Dennison Park
Harry Dennison Park has a fenced-in playspace that was recently upgraded, and new trees were planted across the park as part of the work. The playspace has a spinning orb, a multi-play unit with a slide, a 360 swing and interactive play panels, so children can spin, slide and swing in one area. The fence keeps toddlers and young kids inside the play area, and informal seating beside it gives adults a place to sit and watch.
Dog Rules at Harry Dennison Park
Dogs are welcome at Harry Dennison Park on a lead, and New South Wales law requires owners to keep them under effective control. Dogs are not allowed within 10 metres of children's play equipment or food preparation areas, so the fenced playspace is off limits to them. Off-leash exercise is permitted only in Blacktown City Council's designated off-leash areas, which means dogs stay on-leash everywhere in Harry Dennison Park.
Outdoor Fitness Camp at Harry Dennison Park
Harry Dennison Park has a free-standing outdoor fitness camp funded by WentWest, which has run at the park since July 2024. The camp runs Active Boxing, Active X Training and Flex & Stretch classes, giving Rooty Hill residents a structured way to exercise in a group outdoors. Sessions at Harry Dennison Park start at 9:30 am and 11:15 am, Monday to Friday during school terms.
