Dog rules

Margaret Johns Park is a Council park managed by Cessnock City Council. It is not a designated off-leash area, so dogs must be on-leash and under effective control at all times, and must stay at least 10 metres from children's play equipment. Owners must pick up and dispose of dog waste. (Source: Cessnock City Council park asset register — Margaret Johns Park; Off-leash areas.)
