Dog rules

Dogs are welcome on-leash at Riverside Park, a Shoalhaven City Council park. Under the NSW Companion Animals Act 1998, dogs must be kept on a lead and under effective control in public places throughout the Shoalhaven, except in Council's designated off-leash areas. Dogs are prohibited within 10 metres of children's play equipment and food preparation areas.

Good amount of parking. River easy to access too with stairs and footpath to the start of the sand. Beautiful location along the river for swimming, kids to play, dogs to swin. Lots of birds and butterflies. Made for a lovely morning trip

Great little park for a short stop. Interesting views under the bridge with lookout points and picnic tables.
