Spencer Park is a dog-friendly park in Soldiers Point with plenty of shade. Just 150m away, Sunset Beach is a great nearby beach to visit with your dog.

Dog rules

All Council reserves that are not off-lead or prohibited are dog on-lead areas. Dogs must be under the effective control of a competent person by means of an adequate chain or leash at all times. You are not permitted to walk more than 4 dogs at any one time. Dog owners must remove all dog faeces — fines of $275 apply.

Playground hasn’t had $1 spent on it since 1995, embarrassing. Do better council.

Great shady spot next to the marina and beach area. Very close to takeway shops and has a small children's playground. Tennis courts nextdoor (book online - a bit pricey).
