North Harbour Reserve - Balgowlah (NSW)

5 /5 Uglyboyryan: Very nice and big park. Perfect for bringing your dogs as there is a lot of space. Lots of tables and bbq plates there. Would definitely recommend coming here.

5 /5 Obed T: The playground with an adjacent dog park is a fantastic addition to the community. The childrens area is thoughtfully designed with modern equipment, including climbing structures, swings, and shaded picnic tables. The ground is covered with soft, impact-absorbing material, making it safe for kids of all ages. Right next door, the dog park is spacious and well-fenced, offering separate sections for large and small dogs. There are plenty of benches for owners, water stations for the pups, and shaded areas to escape the sun. The park is kept clean, and the atmosphere is friendly, with pet owners often chatting while their dogs play. Parking is convenient and close by. Overall, this playground and dog park combination is ideal for families who want to enjoy time together outdoors, whether on two legs or four. Its quickly become a favorite weekend destination for our whole family.

5 /5 Jugraj Kundola: Nice and quiet area. Has a lot of nice things to do - North harbour walk is really good, you can walk along the beach/over rocks and then between the beaches. The marina is super clear and you’ll get a few people who are fishing or swimming. Really family friendly and lots of dogs in the area. The water is very shallow in parts so good for paddling (or playing games with the dogs). There’s a couple playgrounds along the walk and a few deeper swimming areas (protected swimming areas).

5 /5 Erica: Walked from Manly wharf and back with my furry best mate. It was a sunny day, and in spite of the winter temperatures my mate was absolutely stoked to have a dip in the water when we arrived at the reserve. Great big park, with shady spaces, big trees and lots of grass. Apparently the grass is the lush scratchy kind which is great for rolling around on and scratching the back while waving your paws in the air.

5 /5 Dani McKenzie: Good off leash dog Park during the week. NB Council have erected numerous signs advising it is an off leash dog park but on weekends people mostly from other areas have picnics and functions with food and children on the ground.
