For most people, their furbabies are part of the family, and being able to take them on outings, instead of leaving them at home, makes weekends more fun.

Luckily, the Central Coast has plenty of dog-friendly places where pups can roam free.


Fenced off-leash areas

  • Tuggerah Oval, Second Ave, Tuggerah

  • There's plenty of room for dogs to explore here, just remember it's closed for maintenance on the first and third Wednesday of each month from 7am to 12pm.

  • Sensory Park, Showground Road, Narara

  • At this relatively new park (opened in December 2015), you can bring your dog for a play, while the kids ride their bikes along the bike track right next door. It’s flat, easily accessible and there's plenty of parking.

    Off-leash beaches

  • Lakes Beach at Budgewoi

  • 500 metres north of the surf club, you are able to take your dog for a run and a swim you can head to Lakes Beach café at the surf club, which has lovely food and friendly staff, and there's plenty of parking.
