Dog Park Terrigal sits on the Haven headland, with a stunning coastal outlook and a spacious area for an off-leash walk. The off-leash zone is the headland only — dogs are not permitted on Terrigal Beach itself — and the area is unfenced and next to a busy car park, so it suits dogs that are well trained and stay close. The views make it a memorable spot for a walk with a dog that has reliable recall.

Dog rules

–Dogs must be under effective control at all times. Dogs not permitted on Terrigal Beach itself — off-leash area is the Haven/headland only.

Beautiful area, wish I'd had more time to explore. Make sure you're dog is well trained because the dog park isn't fenced and is next to a busy parking area.

Dog Park Terrigal is located in a headland over looking the town, beach and ocean. Lovely open area for the dogs. Well kept and maintained. The dog park is part of a larger headland park, with pathways and access to the water if you like. There was a large (approx 20lt) bottle of water and a dog bowl in one location of the dog park, but other than this I didn't see any other watering points for your pooch, so might be best to bring your own if it's a hot day.
