Dickson Reserve
Dickson Reserve has a designated off-leash area at the south end with partial fencing. It's not the biggest park, but it gets plenty of use from the local Bondi dog community. Dogs must stay 10 metres from the playground and basketball court. The grassed area gives dogs room to run and socialise.
Dog rules
Dog off-leash play permitted within the designated area (south end). Dogs must be on a leash outside of this area. Restricted areas: within 10 metres of children's playground and the basketball court. (Source: Waverley Council — waverley.nsw.gov.au)

What people say
Great place for doggos. Big, fenced area for them to run around. Lots of other dogs and people to socialise with.
Not fully-fenced and reasonably small so you're always on guard about your dog running onto the road. Lots of local dogs about though and room to throw a ball. Grass is nice.
Conveniently located park that is great for families. This park connects to a playground for younger children to a basketball court and off-lead dog area.
Cool park, great for 4+ yrs. Has a steep hill with rock climbing holds that leads to a slippery dip, guaranteed to tire any little one out.
Newly updated. This park looks fantastic for kids.
