Dog rules

–Central Coast Council's "Guide to being PAWSOME!" booklet states: "When exercising in a public place, keep your dog on a lead and under the control of a competent person." "This means when you are outside your home, including on the footpath, your dog must be on a lead — except in designated dog off-leash exercise areas." The booklet also notes that under the Companion Animals Act 1998, dogs are prohibited from schools, shopping centres, beaches (except in designated areas), food preparation areas, playgrounds and wildlife protection areas. This park is not on Central Coast Council's published off-leash list, so the council's general on-leash rule applies. (Source: Central Coast Council — "Guide to being PAWSOME!" Responsible Pet Ownership booklet, centralcoast.nsw.gov.au.)

A pretty and peaceful place. Good for kids, too. There's a couple of cafes nearby, a kids play area, and the local swimming pool.

I've visited Gosford today (10/8/24) and walked along the water. It's so peaceful and beautiful here. There were a few pelicans along the area that were quite friendly. The park has an excellent outdoor climbing setup for kids.

Nice by the water. Not a lot of sun protection re trees. Nice to see water and lots of boats
