Crown of Newport Reserve is a dog-friendly park in Newport, with some time-based restrictions in place. Just 800m away, Charli's Cafe is a great nearby spot to grab a coffee with your pup.
Dogs permitted on-leash under Northern Beaches Council default policy (Companion Animals Act 1998). Not listed in the council's designated off-leash areas.
Note: the Crown of Newport Reserve is not the grassy area at the end of Howell Cl — it's the rainforest gully between the end of Hillslope Rd and Kanimbla Crescent. It's a hidden gem, with a trail weaving it's way from the end of Hillsope, up the creek, to the top of the plateau (end of Kanimbla Cr.). A great short, but steep, walk in this pocket of bushland on the peninsula.
We check council regulations, official sources, and community reviews to verify dog access at every venue. Access may change — always check on-site signage. Something wrong or missing? Submit feedback. How it works.
