Missingham Park is a well-shaded on-leash park with BBQ facilities, toilets, and parking, sitting close to the beach at Ballina. It's a relaxed spot to walk your dog on a lead, with waste bags provided. The nearby beach adds to the appeal, and it works well as part of a longer outing combining the park and foreshore.
Dog rules
Dogs are welcome on-leash at this park. Under the NSW Companion Animals Act, dogs must be kept on a leash in all public areas except designated off-leash zones. Ballina Shire Council has seven designated off-leash areas — visit council's website for locations.

Even on a VERY windy and slightly rainy day, this was a fantastic place to stop for lunch with the kids as we explored Ballina & Lennox Head etc. Google reviews were the reason we chose to stop here as most rated it highly! Dog friendly (on leash) park & shoreline was a bonus for our pups. Skate park, playground, picnic tables, seating & toilets - all right on the Richmond River overlooking the heads at Ballina. Definitely worth a stop in!
