Patrick Croke Oval
Patrick Croke Oval is a simple open oval in Kincumber where dogs gather to play off-leash. Dogs can exercise off-leash here under effective control — it is worth checking the signage for any conditions — and it has a friendly, sociable feel with plenty of local dogs. The oval can get boggy after heavy rain, but otherwise there is good room for a run. A relaxed, easygoing spot for an off-leash walk.
Dog rules
Listed by Central Coast Council as a dog-friendly area. Dogs must be under effective control at all times. Check council signage for off-leash designation and specific conditions.

What people say
A magical place for my old dog who meets up with all breeds of lovely dogs who treat him like a friend. It is his favourite place in the world.
The Central Coast Dog Obedience Training Club run their training sessions here. For a volunteer organisation they offer an amazing community service to get your pup socialised and we'll behaved.
Good for footy with the kids and walking the dogs. Just be careful of the dog trainers. Strange breed them
