About Watt Park
Off-Leash Dog Area at Watt Park
Watt Park's off-leash area has no fence along the water, so it suits only dogs with reliable recall that are comfortable around water. Outside the off-leash area, dogs are welcome across Watt Park as long as they stay at least 10 metres from the playground. Wendy's Secret Garden next door has a different rule: dogs must be on a leash there. Owners should plan a route that allows for the open harbour edge, the playground buffer and the garden's leash rule.
Family Facilities at Watt Park
Watt Park has a nautical-themed kids' playground with seesaws, swings and slides. Picnic tables sit in the shade of mature exotic trees within the same green space, so families can move between play and a meal in one visit. Watt Park also has public toilets, a drinking water point and a water station. Walking paths and walkways run through the park, which has wheelchair access and night lighting and is open 24 hours.
