Make tails wag at Buff Point!

  • Dog park refresh

    Central Coast Council is exploring options to relocate the Buff Point Dog Park, and we want to hear from you.

    The current dog park is well-loved, but we have an exciting chance to create a space that better suits our community. A new location could mean:

    • Easier access to public toilets
    • More room for dogs to run and play
    • A welcoming spot for pet owners to connect outdoors

  • Part of a bigger plan

    This proposed relocation also supports Council’s broader vision for Buff Point Oval. Over the past three years, we’ve invested approximately $2million in upgrades to the site, including new drainage, irrigation, lighting, a modern amenity building, and plans for a formalised car park. These improvements are helping to meet growing demand from local sporting clubs to meet the needs of the community.

  • What it means

    Relocating the dog park will allow Council to make better use of the available space for both recreational and sporting purposes, while ensuring the dog park continues to be a safe, accessible and enjoyable space for the community.

    It also aligns with recommendations from the draft Dogs in Open Space Action Plan, developed with input from local residents.
