Gosford War Memorial is a park in Gosford. Dogs are generally allowed on a lead in NSW public parks unless signs say otherwise — but the rules here aren't confirmed, so check local signage before visiting.
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!"

Lovely green well maintained War Memorial Park containing the main War Memorial & several other memorials & plaques along with a Lone Pine 🌲 descendant & an Australian Army WW 2 25 pdr artillery piece 👍

The most picturesque west-facing park in Gosford City. This park landscape features the only example of a memorial scheme and cenotaph by the Australian architect, Gordon Samuel Keesing, who designed the Western Front Australian Division Memorials and devised the Gallipoli Memorial scheme with British architect Sir John Burnet. The Boer War Soldiers Memorial is the only monument on the Central Coast NSW, dedicated to local men who lost their lives during this conflict. The axis of the Gosford Cenotaph is aligned east and west. At sunset, the sun's rays illuminate the names of the WW1 fallen soldiers. LEST WE FORGET.
