L B Kelly Park is a dog-friendly park in Austinmer with plenty of shade. Just 200m away, Bread, Espresso & THIRROUL is a nearby spot to stop in after your walk.
Dogs must be kept on a leash at all times in public spaces. Dogs are not allowed within 10 metres of children's play areas or areas where food is prepared or eaten (except outdoor dining areas of cafes/restaurants that allow dogs). Dogs are prohibited from school grounds, childcare centres, rock platforms, wildlife protection areas, and any area with signage indicating dogs are prohibited. Dog owners must clean up after their dogs. Source: Wollongong City Council – Dog Beaches and Parks (wollongong.nsw.gov.au/places/dog-beaches-and-parks)
The play equipment is only small and the park is about two building blocks. So the park is full of children, running, climbing and giggling. The trees give great shade. And it's an ideal spot for a picnic lunch. Sometimes the sulphur crested cockatoos take over the seed maintenance. In other words it's a little treat.
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.
