Robertson Park
Dog rating
Robertson Park is a green harbourside park above Watsons Bay, with the wharf, beach and harbour views close by. Dogs are allowed off-leash between 3:30pm and 10:30am, and need to stay on-leash outside those hours. It is an easy spot to reach by ferry, settle on the grass and take in the view, with Watsons Bay Hotel a short stroll away for a relaxed afternoon stop.
Dog rules
Dogs are permitted off leash at Robertson Park and the adjacent beach between Watsons Bay Ferry Wharf and Vaucluse Yacht Club from 3:30pm to 10:30am, except during organised public events. Dogs must be on leash at all other times and are not permitted in the children's playground.

Arrived by ferry, stopped here just to relax and watch the world go by .. the park is clean , has some picnic area .. it must be a dog on leash or off leash … many dogs running around with their owners.. Watson Bay is a small community but quaint , has a few eateries and shops.. last thing , community washrooms were clean as well..

Confusing that some reviews say the park is dog friendly while the sign clearly states dogs are prohibited at all times. Guess the local old crowd is rich enough to have their own private spotless lawns for their dogs anyway.

Lush green Park overlooking the Watsons Bay wharf and the beach adjoining the wharf. A number of picnic spots available. Great scenery on a sunny day. A dog friendly park.
