About Kogarah Park
Off-Leash Dog Area at Kogarah Park
Kogarah Park has a dedicated off-leash dog area at its southern end, set well away from Netstrata Jubilee Stadium and the sports ovals. The off-leash area is completely unfenced, so owners need to keep their dogs under control at all times. A water tap in the off-leash area gives dogs fresh drinking water during a visit, and a bin is provided for waste.
Playground and Picnic Shelters at Kogarah Park
Kogarah Park has a children's playground with a large rope climbing structure nearby, which suits young children. Picnic shelters and picnic tables give families a covered place to eat outdoors. Public toilets on site make longer outings practical, and the park has night lighting. Families can combine playground time with a meal under the shelters, and the park's shaded lawns make it easy to spend a full afternoon at Kogarah Park.
Netstrata Jubilee Stadium at Kogarah Park
Netstrata Jubilee Stadium sits within Kogarah Park on Jubilee Avenue and is the home ground of the St George Illawarra Dragons. Jubilee Oval was built inside the park in 1935, adding sports ovals to its grounds. The land has a longer history, having been dedicated in 1896 as the first public park in Kogarah. Visitors who come for a match share the same grounds as local sport and recreation users.
