Bardon Park: water, bags and open grass
- Off-leash 24/7
- Water
- Poo bags
Bardon Park is a 3.0-acre grassy dog park on Mount Street, and dogs can be off the lead across the whole of it at any time of the day. Drinking taps with dog bowls attached are on site, so a drink is easy to find. The dog tidy station and free compostable poo bags mean you won't need your own. Only a few trees give shade, so bring water and plan around the heat. Across the road sit the Coogee Bowling Club and tennis courts. Winter training by the Coogee Dolphins brings children onto the grass, so it's busier then.
Best for: Best for owners who want water and poo bags on site.
Baker Park: the off-leash section beside the playground
- Off-leash 24/7
- Poo bags
- Toilets
Baker Park's off-leash area is a designated section that adjoins the children's playground, and it's open off the lead at any time of the day. Dogs aren't allowed in the playground, on the tennis courts or within 10 metres of the playground, so keep them clear of that corner. Bags come from a dispenser on site, and the toilets are on Dudley Street. Its grass forms a triangle between Dudley, Carr and Byron Streets. The Carr Street bus stop is right by the playground, which helps if you come by bus.
Best for: Best for owners who want toilets nearby and don't mind the playground boundary.
Bangor Park: unfenced, open at all hours
- Off-leash 24/7
- Not fenced
- Poo bags
- Parking
Bangor Park's off-leash exercise area is unfenced and open on all sides, and it's open off the lead around the clock, every day of the week. That suits owners who want an all-hours area and don't need a fence. The ground falls away in places, with flatter sections along Oberon Street and Rainbow Street. Dogs must stay out of the playground and 10 metres from it. Cars can use the streets next door, with room to spare. The dog bag dispenser and bins are provided, but the dispenser can run empty, so carry a spare bag. Baker Park sits about 0.4 km away.
Best for: Best for owners who don't need a fence and want to park on the street beside the area.

The order weighed fencing, water and size, then facilities and how far each park is from the centre. Parks with thin details appear in the table only. Gaps show as a dash, so a blank cell never means the park lacks the feature. Only parks where dogs can be off the lead appear on the page.
