What people say
The north half of the Pitt Street Reserve s a designated a dog-off-leash area. The sign appears to show that small beach area located south of the Stockton seawall is also a dog-off-leash area. There is plenty of green space here. The path and cycleway that leads to the Stockton ferry wharf goes through this park. There is a carpark located at the north of the park and also at the Stockton public pool. The old skate park is located near the northern area of this park.

First time here and it was so beautiful, took the doggies for a good walk and even got in for a swim. The water was beautiful 😍
Very clean and well maintained. Never overcrowded. There's no fencing but it a very big area.
Well you won't find a better spot anywhere in the world 🌊 and the water was so clear blue like those famous Hawaii holiday spots 👌✨🌊🌈
