Pitt Street Reserve is a quiet harbour-front park at Stockton with a small, calm beach known as Little Beach, good for a paddle. Dogs are allowed off-leash from sunrise to sunset under effective control, with the leash-free area running through the reserve to the carpark. As it is unfenced with open water access, it suits dogs with reliable recall. There is a playground and parking on hand. A peaceful off-leash spot by the harbour.
Dog rules

It appears that the council map of the Pitt St Reserve, dog leash free area, needs updating. The responsible dog owners use the entire park as a leash free area, not just the northern section.

The northern part of this park is a dog-off-the-leash park - it extends to the carpark near the Stockton break wall. There is plenty of green space here. Some excellent views of the Hunter River, Newcastle and Nobbys Lighthouse. A walk north along the track will take you to the Shipwreck Walk where you can walk to the end of the seawall. The Stockton public pool, caravan park and old skate park are located at the northern end of this park.

a really nice park that was nice and clean decided to have lunch here from the local fish and chip shop just up the road, nice little playground for the children to run around, after lunch we were able to walk up both breakwalls and pick up some geocaches so that made it more worthwhile thanks for the great up keep of the park
