Dog rules

–Central Coast Council's "Guide to being PAWSOME!" booklet states: "When exercising in a public place, keep your dog on a lead and under the control of a competent person." "This means when you are outside your home, including on the footpath, your dog must be on a lead — except in designated dog off-leash exercise areas." The booklet also notes that under the Companion Animals Act 1998, dogs are prohibited from schools, shopping centres, beaches (except in designated areas), food preparation areas, playgrounds and wildlife protection areas. This park is not on Central Coast Council's published off-leash list, so the council's general on-leash rule applies. (Source: Central Coast Council — "Guide to being PAWSOME!" Responsible Pet Ownership booklet, centralcoast.nsw.gov.au.)

Great view would recommend this to go with a couple of friends hard but rewarding

Tough walk/run from bottom to top, definitely a fitness test. But the views over the water are nice at the top, and worth the effort. Small trail to keep following through the bush, but it doesn't go too much further. Starting to get a bit overgrown, and no facilities, but otherwise a good spot to drop in.
