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)

What people say
A nice walk across the creek behind the back of houses. You can follow the public walkway from the stairs on Cornock Street, cross the creek and up to Nardoo Cres. Watch out for water dragons, echidnas, wallaby's and other wildlife who live here.
This IS NOT a public reserve. It is private land not a park. It has been private land since the eighties. There is a small one metre easement but leads to a dead end. If you follow it you are then trespassing on private property. If you are looking for a correct public park Leishman off Kanangra Drive is there.
