Bridgewater Park

Dogs welcome — rules apply•Dog rules
Dog rating

Updated 19 June 2026

Bridgewater Park is a well-maintained off-leash park with a large grassed area that gives dogs plenty of room to run. The open layout makes it easy to settle in or move around depending on how active your dog is.

Set along the waterfront, it's close to areas where dogs can access the water, and includes practical features like toilets, water fountains, and seating.

Dog rules

The section of Bridgewater Park between the bay and the sporting ground is off-leash at all times. The sporting ground is off-leash except during organised sporting games, training and events. Dogs are not permitted within 10 metres of the children's playground.

Beautiful well maintained park overlooking the water. Love to play fetch here and then walk around the corner to the dog beach for a swim. Some Sundays you may find a sea of golden retrievers at their monthly meetup!

Wonderful dog friendly park with amazing water views and plenty of walking paths around the bay. Close to The Fruitologist & Cafe for picnic supplies and a 1o minute walk to Woolworths.

Went to Bridgewater Park for a fishing day trip. Heaps of Dogs walking about off leash, be prepared for them to come and sniff you and your bait. Make sure you pick up your fishing rubbish especially old hooks. We caught 10 fish, nice small ones.
