Primrose Park Dog Off Leash Area in Cremorne is a large sports oval beside Willoughby Bay. Dogs can be off-leash on the grass except during organised sport and must be on a leash in the bushland sections.
Primrose Park Dog Off Leash Area: At a Glance
- The Vibe: A wide, flat oval below a bush-covered hillside, with moored boats on the bay beside it.
- Best For: Dogs with reliable recall that want a long, flat run on open grass.
- Off-Leash Hours: Allowed at all times except during organised sport on the fields. Dogs must be on a leash in bushland areas.
- Fencing: Not a dog-secure enclosure. A boundary fence runs along the bay side, and bush trails and access roads border the grounds. Dogs need reliable recall.
- Parking: Two dedicated off-street car parks sit off Young Street and Lambert Street.
Park Features & Amenities
For the Dogs
- Grassy Sports Ovals: A large, flat oval gives dogs room for long-distance fetch across level grass.
- Drinking Water: Council taps with ground-level dog bowls sit near the clubhouse and along the field boundary.
- Commercial Dog Walkers: Dog walkers use the reserve on weekday mornings, so social dogs will find playmates.
For the Humans
- Poo Bags: Council dispensers and rubbish bins sit near the car parks and field entry points.
- Public Toilets: Brick toilet blocks sit beside the main pavilion near the lower car park.
- Sports Lighting: Floodlight towers stand beside the oval and light it for evening training.
Insider Tip: Organised sport has priority over dog exercise. Local clubs use the fields on weekends and weekday evenings, and dogs must stay off the grass while games or training are on. Check the field before you unclip the lead.
The Final Verdict
Primrose Park suits dogs with reliable recall that want a long run on flat turf. It is best visited outside organised sport.
