Birdwood Park is a dog-friendly park in Narrabeen. Just 50m away, 4 Knots Cafe is a nearby spot to stop in after your walk.
Dogs are permitted on-leash under the NSW Companion Animals Act 1998. Dogs must be under effective control at all times. This venue is not listed on the Northern Beaches Council off-leash dog areas page; off-leash use is not authorised here.
Swimming here is fabulous on an incoming tide from about two hours after low tide until high tide, when the lagoon is open to the sea. Otherwise the water is “lakey” ie green, soupy and a bit smelly. You can swim a long way towards the beach. Watch for the odd oyster shell on the left hand side after you go around the bend and are closer to the sea as you can cut your feet. Great for little kids to paddle in.
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.
