Hinkler Park

Hinkler Park in North Manly is a 24-hour off-leash area with direct access to Queenscliff Lagoon, making it perfect for water-loving dogs seeking safe swimming and cooling off in sheltered harbour waters. Bordered by the lagoon on one side and residential properties on the other, the park features generous grassy areas, shaded trees, and sandy zones where pups can dig and play. Excellent facilities include water stations, waste bins, paved footpaths, public toilets, kiosks, and ample parking.

Just a short walk from Lagoon Park, Hinkler Park suits owners seeking a peaceful neighbourhood experience combined with water recreation. The lagoon frontage is ideal for dogs needing to cool down, while the North Manly location offers a quieter, more residential feel compared to busier beach precincts. Multiple playgrounds at each end of the park add family appeal for longer outings.

Hinkler Park's North Manly off-leash area is one of the Northern Beaches' most loved dog parks thanks to its combination of direct lagoon access, thoughtful facilities, and welcoming community atmosphere.

Hinkler Park is managed by Northern Beaches Council.
