Speers Point Park is a large lakeside park on Lake Macquarie with a fully fenced dog park that is leash-free at all times. Dogs can run securely within the enclosure, with shade and water access nearby. The wider park has a cafe, playground, BBQs and lakeside walkways, and often hosts festivals and markets. A spacious, well-equipped spot that works for both a focused off-leash run and a longer day by the lake.
Dog rules
Off-leash area: Speers Point Park contains the separately fenced Speers Point Dog Park (Creek Reserve Road), which is leash free at all times. The remainder of the park is not a designated off-leash area, so dogs must be on-leash there, and must stay at least 10 metres from playground equipment and from food preparation or consumption areas. Dogs must be supervised at all times and under effective control. Owners must pick up and dispose of dog waste.

What a great place for kids to run around and enjoy a great day out. The facilities are great with toilets, cafes, lake and walkways nearby. There are fun festivals and markets to bisit around it. Great for birthday parties as well as any type of family/friend gatherings. Closed off so it is safe for kids and parents. The only problem is that the dogs aren't allowed even with leash on.

It's a lovely playground and park. Shaded and fun. Recommended to spend an hour on the way to/from Sydney and Taree area. The care is noted as 7 days but it was shut when we were there.

Visited this park with our grandchildren. Great place, especially when we bring their bikes as there is a fantastic cycle track for children. They also enjoyed playing in the playground. We would definitely recommend this place.

The bike track from here is probably the most scenic family friendly (easy) track I have done. And the playground is also one of the best I have visited. Location, facilities and everything is just great for a family picnic
