Croudace Bay Park is a large waterfront park on Lake Macquarie with a fenced dog area, open space and easy access to the water for a swim. The Central Park section is off-leash at all times, while the foreshore area is timed: off-leash from sunrise to 10am daily and from 4:30pm on weekdays. With BBQs, seating, a playground and lake views, it works well for fetching, walking and a relaxed day by the water.

Great for kids to ride their scooters and bikes or have a play in the playground. Plus it's the perfect dog park for fetching, walking, running and swimming. Enjoy the beautiful view of sailboats and green waterfront edges around the lake. Sit out for a picnic or birthday party!

Great dogs and interesting people, some with balls, some without. Both types are interesting. We enjoy both, although she likes the ones with balls.
