Dog rules

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)

Go through the week if you can, quiet and plenty of space for picinics. Take what you need as Kiosk is currently up for Lease. Dog beach landscape is different everytime we go, love it.

Skydivers landed here for the sunrise morning jump. Very clean and active park of runners, walkers, bikers and your good ole pooch walkers and also your sky diving spectator, like me.

Nice place to sit and have lunch. But just watch out for the nesting plovers

Great day out at Red hot summer tour. Lucky they got the plastic floor mats. It was very wet under foot. The organisers didn't have enought mens loos. Line up was longer than ladies.
