Caroline Bay Reserve has a small grassed off-leash area by the water in East Gosford. The area is unfenced and on the compact side, so it suits dogs that stay close rather than those wanting a long run. It is a pleasant patch of green for a short walk or a spot by the water. A modest, low-key off-leash option.
Dog rules

yeah not great for dogs, it's not fenced, no drinking water fountain. just a nice bit of grass near the water, not bad for a picnic and children play.

Lovely park for kids, not great for dogs. NOT FENCED, I did search fenced dog park, this was the first to pop up, but I didnt check reviews, my fault. The lack of fenced dog Parks on the Central Coast is disappointing The dog park at Tuggerah is disgraceful, while it is fenced that is the only redeemable feature, muddy, stinky mess without shade. No thought went into this project.

Lovely park for dogs to run around in & if high tide they are able to play in the water. My dog Jasper has a lot of friends there. All dog owners are freindly & we're all regulars. Only problem there are no seats or tap so have to bring water with you.

Not good for dogs at all unless they don't like to run around. It is a small area and does not look like a dog area at all. It's only a small patch of grass. It's not fenced and next to a road. I was too scared to let my dog off leash.
