Dog rules
Buckland Avenue Park is a Council park managed by Cessnock City Council.

Owners must pick up and dispose of dog waste. (Source: Cessnock City Council park asset register — Buckland Avenue Park; Off-leash areas.)

Simple playground, nice grass area and path around, great shade, not well maintained though
★★☆☆☆1 year ago
Really not worth bringing your kids here. The play equipment is basic, broken, and poorly designed. There is rubbish and graffiti. Likely used extensively by teenagers at night. The bike path would be great for young kids learning to ride except there are drainage issues and a large section is underwater and probably unsafe for young kids to be around. The park isn't fenced so hard to keep kids off the road. Plenty of parking when it's not taken up by people going to the PCYC.

Syringes, smashed ceramic plates, graffiti, rubbish, broken softfall. Really terrible. I have made a report to council.
