Cooke Park is a highly rated dog-friendly park in Gerringong where dogs are welcome on lead. You'll find BBQs, parking, and toilets nearby, while Clay Coffee Collective is around 600 metres away for an easy post-walk coffee. Some conditions apply, so it's worth checking the rules before you visit.

Dog rules

Dogs are permitted on-leash on the footpaths around the outside perimeter of this park only. Dogs are not permitted in park interiors. Dogs are also prohibited — on or off leash — within 10 metres of children's playground equipment, within 10 metres of public barbeques and kiosks, on sports fields, ovals and courts during organised sport, and in public bathing areas. Kiama's designated off-leash areas are listed on the council's off-leash areas page.

Best part is the rock pool. It’s a huge rock pool with natural beauty surrounding it. Gives infinity pool view from it. Enough car park space. Family friendly. Also fishing is available with boat ramp facility. Amazing historical anecdotes can be seen. This place has a lot of history. Recommend to visit during the sunny day. Enough signage and public toilet facilities are also available.

Picnic tables, toilets, parking, boat ramp, fish scaling bench, rock pool, ocean. What more can you ask for? Pretty nice place to relax. Definitely no camping.

Naturally speaking very nice but there is this subtle vibe that sent us off.

Very beautiful place and can find many sea urchins and fishes here. Better to bring aqua shoes to walk on the rocks during low tide time.

I like this park... because the view while you are here is incredible! It has great facilities and access. Kids will love the rock pool in summer or just strolling out to the headland and fossicking along the rocks. Postcard perfect!
