Camp Cove Reserve
Camp Cove Reserve is a grassed reserve at Watsons Bay with shade and a relaxed, harbourside feel. Dogs are allowed off-leash here at all times, with room for a walk and a run close to the cove. There is parking on hand, and the beach and Watsons Bay pubs are a short stroll away. A pleasant off-leash spot near the harbour.

Very peaceful park in the backstreets of Watson's bay, shaded by massive fig trees.

Went for a night dive, it is a shallow dive, lots of bobtail squid, pajama squid and was lucky enough to see a small headed sole. There is parking close by, it gets packed during the day. At night/afternoon it is pretty quite.

Small patch of grass that we walked by en route to Camp Cove. It's more like a neighborhood garden with some benches, than anything. Don't expect too much, but if you're staying in the area and need a space to sit down on some grass, this can be an option. Alternatively, head towards Hornby Lighthouse and Camp Cove beach; that's nicer.
