Be the first to share a photo of this spot.

Samuel Park is a small local park in Vaucluse, near the village shops and next to the Vaucluse Bowling Club. Dogs are welcome on-leash, kept clear of the playground and food areas, with natural shade over a compact grassed area. It is an easy, everyday spot for a short walk close to the shops. A simple on-leash neighbourhood park.

Dog rules

Dogs must be under effective control and on a leash at all times in all public places, except in designated off-leash areas. Dogs are prohibited within 10 metres of children's playground equipment and food preparation areas, from school grounds, child care centres, and indoor shopping centres. Dog faeces must be removed immediately. (Source: Woollahra Council — Walking Your Dog, woollahra.nsw.gov.au.)
