Updated 16 May 2026

Manly West Park is a dog-friendly park in Balgowlah with plenty of shade.

Dog rules

–Northern Beaches Council's "Dogs and Dog Off-leash Areas" page states: "When talking your dog for a walk place them on-leash before leaving home and ensure they are under your effective control." The page lists Council's designated off-leash areas. This park is not on Northern Beaches Council's published off-leash list, so the council's general on-leash rule applies under the NSW Companion Animals Act 1998.
