Surf Reserve sits behind the dunes at North Curl Curl, with designated off-leash areas around the lagoon and behind the beach. Dogs are not allowed on the main beach, but the reserve still gives them grass, sand and lagoon-side space to explore. Shade, BBQ facilities, toilets and a playground make it a comfortable coastal base for a morning visit.
Dog rules
Dogs are permitted on-leash. Surf Reserve is a council open space (picnics and ball games) with no designated off-leash area — the Northern Beaches on-leash rule applies. Keep your dog on a leash and under effective control; clean up after your dog.

Good fog off leash area. Can be bit dirty - people need to remember to pick up after their pets

Surf reserve itself is just a small park as I understand, just before entering the North curl curl beach parking. Lots of comments and reviews I saw here are describing the North curl curl beach and the nice small place besides it which is a great place for the of leash dogs to enjoy the water. This park is a nice place for a quiet walk it but of rest after all those water activities. There is no facilities etc though.

Great park and walkway, joines Curl Curl to Freshwater(Harbord) Can be tricky parking when its busy, but because of the pool often people comming and going. Its a great place to watch storms and if you down at the pool look back towards sunset. It can get very windy though so be careful its exposed which is half the fun.

Playground needs a little updating or an addition for the older kids but it was clean and the lawn was well maintained.
