Spencer Park
Spencer Park is a dog-friendly park in Soldiers Point where dogs are welcome on lead. You'll find shaded space nearby, while Restaurant 2317 is just a short walk away for an easy post-walk drink.
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.

What people say
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).
