Baker Park
Baker Park is an off-leash pocket park in Coogee where the grass grows over sand — the surface is firmer than most parks and dotted with holes from years of digging. Two tennis courts share the middle of the park, and there's a partial fence, ocean views in the distance, and poop bags provided.
It works best for confident, social dogs — the fence doesn't fully enclose the space, so chase-prone or nervous dogs need close supervision. Council rangers unlock the gates around 6am. There's a fountain for dogs, an agility course, and a cafe nearby. The larger Dog Park (Coogee) and Bangor Park are both a short walk away.
Dog rules
Designated off-leash dog exercise area. Dogs may be exercised off-leash at any time. Dogs must remain under effective control and must not become a nuisance to other park users. (Source: Randwick City Council — randwick.nsw.gov.au)

What people say
Good dog park, heaps of fun to meet other pups there. Would benefit from a proper fence though, so you don't have to worry about your dog running in the streets anymore.
Partial fence and lots of space for doggies :) Tennis courts as well, lovely people & lovely views of the ocean! Kids park may be hot due to plastic/rubber/metal bits! Bring refillable bottle as two fountains, one for dogs and free poop bags! Will come back soon!
Baker Park is a well maintained outdoor space for locals to bring their dogs to run around freely without a leash. The grass is often dry and brown because it is growing on sand rather than dirt and it has a lot of holes where dogs like to dig. In the middle of the park you will find two tennis courts with a synthetic pitch. The council rangers open up the gates around 6am and lock them up after sunset. They are free to use during those hours and don’t need to be booked. Just bring your own tennis rackets and balls and wait for your turn. People generally spend an hour playing and then let the next person have a go. On the northern side of Baker Park, in the corner of Dudley and Carr Street you will find a fenced area called Memorial Playground. It has play equipment for young children. The park also has large trees, providing shade; a water bunker for humans and a lower bunker for dogs. There are public toilets at the tennis court which get opened at the same time. This is a great spot for taking sunrise photos over the ocean.
Although it's a nice little park, it isn't that secure to have dogs off leash and not big enough also. Still searching for the perfect dog park lol
