4.3(9 reviews)

Fingal Bay Reserve Off-Lead Dog Exercise Area is a picturesque coastal destination in New South Wales, Australia, offering a variety of environments for pets and their owners. The park features expansive, open grassy fields that transition into a beautiful sandy beach, providing ample space for off-lead running and play. Facilities at the reserve are well-maintained and include a modern playground area covered by a large blue shade sail and set on a woodchip surface. For human visitors, there are several picnic tables and benches strategically placed to take advantage of the stunning waterfront views, especially during sunrise or sunset. Essential dog-friendly amenities, such as waste bag dispensers, are provided to help keep the area clean. The reserve appears to be unfenced, emphasizing its natural and open character. Shade is readily available through both man-made structures and large, mature trees scattered throughout the park. The overall atmosphere is tranquil and family-oriented, making it an ideal spot for a day out with a dog in a scenic, large-scale outdoor setting.
