Manly Lagoon

Manly Lagoon Park is a 24-hour off-leash dog park with a bike and pedestrian path, outdoor exercise equipment, a playground, toilets and barbecue area. It's situated at the northern end of Manly Beach and combines expansive grassy areas and a calm, shallow lagoon, ideal for paddling.

The park has both free and paid parking, though on weekends it can be more challenging to find a spot.

The lagoon is also the starting point for one of Sydney's most spectacular walking tracks: the Manly Lagoon to North Head Walk.
