Woodland Parkway Reserve

Dogs likely welcome

Woodland Parkway Reserve is a park in Budgewoi. Dogs are generally allowed on a lead in NSW public parks unless signs say otherwise — but the rules here aren't confirmed, so check local signage before visiting.

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.)

Small play ground and BBQ area on the lake. It is quite basic, if you are close by its a good option but if you are travelling more then 15 minutes there are better bbq playground picnic options around the area

Great little park, not much play equipment but room to kick a ball and run around. Cute ducks alone the creek and lake. Cute little bridge over the creek

It's pleasant enough, with a pathway that cuts through the back of the houses at Blue Haven and twists and turns through to the Northlakes Shopping Centre, and the service station before Charmhaven bridge, or can be followed down to the Sports Oval, and School, in Blue Haven
