Ku-ring-gai Council says dogs must be on a leash and under control on fire trails and bush tracks. Dogs are banned from national parks, the Ku-ring-gai Flying-fox Reserve, the Wildflower Garden, Brown's Forest and Dalrymple-Hay Nature Reserve, and from bushland while fox baiting is under way. Check signage on arrival. The pin is approximate.
