Lancaster Park is a small, fenced off-leash area with good shade. It's in a quiet location and is popular as a stopover for travellers on their way to Bagnalls Beach, giving dogs a chance to stretch their legs in an enclosed space. The park is well-maintained and rarely crowded.

Dog rules

Fenced off-leash dog exercise area. Dogs permitted off-leash at all times within the fenced area. Dogs must be accompanied, supervised, and controllable without a leash. Dangerous and restricted breeds not permitted. Dog owners must remove all dog faeces. Source: Port Stephens Council – Dog Parks (portstephens.nsw.gov.au/services/dog-parks)

Absolutely love this off leashed fenced dog park. We regularly travel from Mudgee, NSW to take our old dogs to Bagnalls Beach and we stop onroute to the dog park to grab fish and chips from Corlette and take the dogs to this beautiful shady cool spot so the dogs can have some downtime and an awesome sniffari after there swim whilst we have our fish and chips. Highly recommend, it shady, cool, quiet and fairly well kept but still giving the dogs some great sensory time. As a professionally qualified behavioural trainer, assessor and consultant these spaces are so important for those who want some quiet time for their dogs when no one else is using it. This type of environment is great for a dogs mental health and wellbeing.

Great dog park where like minded and responsible dog owners can get together to socialise and to socialise their dogs. Generally well maintained by council and kept clean by the users. Wasn't a fan of dog parks until we were invited by friends to try Lancaster park - we now attend 4 times a week

Good park and must be great when it's dry!! Plenty of space for my boy to chase his ball and in summer would be amazing with all the shade. Sadly no water tap for dogs but otherwise a safe place to play!

A friendly place for non aggressive pups of all sizes to play and burn excess energy. Mostly quiet except between 4pm and 5pm when anything upto 20 regulars come to play.
