Elphinstone Road Reserve is a dog-friendly park in Coogee. Just 600m away, Cafe Milestone Coogee is a great nearby spot to grab a coffee with your pup.

Dog rules

Dogs must be kept on a leash at all times in this park. Off-leash exercise is only permitted in Randwick City Council's 17 designated leash-free areas — this is not one of them. Dogs are not permitted in playgrounds, sports courts, food preparation areas, schools, or wildlife protection areas. Please pick up after your dog — failure to do so attracts a $275 fine.

A pretty nice and quiet park less than a kilometre from Coogee Beach. Whilst it definitely needs a bit of maintenance from Randwick Council, it’s quite relaxing...and (as I said), very quiet. It’s a shame one of the basketball rings is broken, but one is still working; so it’s not a bad place to shoot some hoops 🏀

Nice reserve well maintained. The basketball half court is covered in tree leaves and dirty making it hard to play a game here.
