Tania Park is a wide clifftop field at Balgowlah Heights, with sweeping views across North and South Heads and a coastal track leading towards Manly. Dogs have generous off-leash space here, but access is conditional around sport: weekday off-leash starts after 4pm, and weekend sport affects access after 7:30am. With parking, toilets, BBQs and a playground, it is a strong choice for a run with a view.

Dog rules

Off-leash dog exercise area. Off-leash 24 hours on most days, but weekday off-leash starts after 4:00 PM and weekend sport after 7:30 AM. Check signage.

Wide open space for dogs to run and play. Good views and a costal walk to Manly.

This is a sports field and also a dog friendly park with plenty of other doggies running around off leads, parking is free, toilets are also there and the view of north & south heads is fantastic also views of manly to the left and the city of Sydney to the right, great place to go even if it's just to walk yourself!

Love to watch the Sunrise from there, plenty of space to walk your dog and a playground for kids. Friendly community. Aslo I have to mention we set up our coffee & crepes caravan on Friday morning for a Friday treat. So very recommended park for family and dog owners.
