Carradah Park is a green harbourside park at Crows Nest near Waverton, on the way to the Coal Loader. In keeping with North Sydney's parks, dogs are welcome off-leash, kept on-leash in bushland and off the playing fields during organised sport. There is BBQ facilities and toilets on hand. A pleasant off-leash park by the water.

Dog rules

North Sydney is a dog-friendly area and all Council parks and public reserves are off-leash areas, except for bushland areas, playing fields when organised sporting events are in progress, and venues where dogs are not allowed. Dogs must be under effective control at all times. (Source: North Sydney Council — northsydney.nsw.gov.au)

Right next to Waverton park and also on the way to or from Coal Loader, one of those sites that is sorta hidden away but also is accessible. Great view of the harbor and city, used to have the old oil and petrol storage tanks in here and now its gone you can see these huge circular areas exposing sandstone cliffs. Has walking paths, some stairs, some lookouts and dogs allowed as well.

There are public toilets a stones throw away at Waverton Park and also at Balls Head Reserve. This is where the old BP site used to be and a great spot to go for a walk. It has a stunning view of the city and is a perfect place to watch the fireworks to welcome in the new year.

My friend T and I went here the first time today Thursday 07/11/2024. It was late afternoon and the weather was not very good so it's quite quiet. I like this park as it has great views looking towards Sydney Habour Bridge and Sydney CBD. My friend didn't want to walk a lot so I couldn't go further towards Balls Head. But next time I would spend more time here. It's really nice.
