Barracluff Park is one of the larger parks in North Bondi, popular with local dog owners. Dogs are off-leash from 3pm to 10am daily and on-leash at other times, kept clear of the playground and community courts and off the sportsfield during organised events. There is parking (though it fills quickly) and open room for a run. A well-used local spot for timed off-leash exercise.

Dog rules

Timed off-leash: 3pm to 10am daily; dogs must be on a leash at all other times. Prohibited: within 10 metres of children's playground and community courts; sportsfields during organised sport / community events. (Source: Waverley Council — waverley.nsw.gov.au)

It's a great place only there is never parking! And watch out for your belongings, a few times some items magically disappeared. Dogs are also not making pleasant. But otherwise it's fine!

Barracluff Park is a sport and recreation park in North Bondi. The Park was officially opened in 1910 and named after Alderman Barracluff of Waverley Council. The Park provides a sports field with lighting, district level playground with a half multi use court for basketball, tennis, and netball with handball line markings. There are no restrooms or BBQ facilities, it located 10 minutes walk away from Bondi Beach

The playground has been recently renovated and is very good for little and big kids, with a great mix of play equipment and nature play. Entirely fenced in but often busy.

One of the largest parks in North Bondi in Sydney. Barrcluff Park is very popular with local residents, especially for dog walking. The park has a new District level playspace that people are travelling to visit. There is also a junior sport field in the park.
