Willoughby Park is a relaxed off-leash space with open grass, morning dog walkers and a well-kept local feel. The 1930s Art Deco community centre gives the park a distinctive backdrop, and there are toilets, a playground and outdoor exercise equipment nearby. Dogs need to stay on-leash within ten metres of the playground, but otherwise have plenty of room to move.

I visit this park a few times per week in the mornings. It is not crowded and clean. Visitors do exercises, hiking and running 🏃♂️. A lot of dog walkers. Public toilets, playground for kids, outdoors exercise equipment, bowling club, car park and picnic area are available. I would recommend 👌.

Lovely little parkwith charming 1930's Art Deco community centre within. There is a good amount of space for dogs and kids to play free, an outdoor play area, and sporting facilities for the athletically inclined. A good place for a jog, leisurely stroll with the dog, a picnic with the kids or a snooze under the tree.

What a lovely park and I had a great time taking photographs of dogs in the early evening winter light.

Great park for kids who are 5+!!! I mean ive seen younger kids in this park, but its been harder to find a good park which has play sections that older kids (5–10years old) could also enjoy! But our kindy boys really enjoyed!!!:) Really spacious & it is divided with different sections with fun rides and plays. You could really spend the whole day. Although i guess it gets really busy on the weekends!
