Shepherds Park
Broad flat fields in Beach Haven, dropping down to the mangrove edge of the upper harbour.

A large sports park with room to spare and a walkway down to the water. Off leash outside game times, and big enough that the dogs can properly open up. There's a playground on the flat. The harbour edge is the better half of the visit, especially when the tide is in.
