Raleigh Reserve
Raleigh Reserve is a long, corridor-shaped off-leash park with dramatic cliff views along the eastern edge. The shape makes it easy to keep sight of your dog while they move up and down the length of the space, and the views of the coastline are genuinely striking. It's mostly used by local dog walkers and stays relatively quiet. Off-leash access is available all day, with standard exclusion zones around the playground and BBQ area. Waste bags are provided.
Dog rules
All-day off-leash per the council off-leash list. Standard restrictions apply: 10 metres of children's playground/BBQ; bushland (except designated paths). (Source: Waverley Council — waverley.nsw.gov.au)

What people say
My favourite off-leash dog park in the East filled with so many lovely neighbours. It a long corridor so easy to keep control of your dog, especially if they are younger. Whilst walking your dog you often get to see the whale’s migrating when in season. Lots of dog walkers - but there are poo bags and water available for all - including the dogs 🤣
Raleigh Reserve Raleigh Reserve is a narrow park located at Raleigh Street, just at the south of Rodney Reserve. This park has a children’s playground set that is fenced with slides, swings and fort climb that are ideal for small kids and not toddlers. Kids can also head over to the nearby playground up north in Rodney Reserve if they are still up for more play time. Raleigh Reserve’s elevated position makes this park an ideal location for its picturesque view of the coast. In fact, it is even advised to bring your own binoculars for some whale watching whilst admiring the view of the ocean from the Raleigh Reserve Another activity to do in Raleigh Reserve is exploring the coastal trails available. Sydney eastern suburbs offers a variety of coastal walks and trails for you to choose from. By heading out on a coastal walk, you get to appreciate the beautiful view that the Sydney coast has to offer. If you are looking for snacks and drinks, you may want to head down to Military Road to North Bondi for some cafes and food stalls. Raleigh Reserve has allotted a few rubbish bins in the area however there are no public toilets nearby. Dogs are allowed in the park but they should be kept on leash at all times.
Gorgeous park along the Dover heights cliffs. Dogs allowed off lead. Views are incredible and there is plenty of street parking.
No one usually comes here aside from home owners walking their dogs. The views of the cliffs are breathtaking. Just need to check weather forecast before coming here to walk to bondi coz there are only few places to take cover from rain
Lovely park to walk along with beautiful views of the cliffs and the ocean.
