Red Park

Red Park is a relaxed all-day spot at 24 Hodgson Street, central Ocean Grove, with a sunny deck shaded by a large gum. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor area, so it works for a coffee stop on the way to or from the beach.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating, particularly on the deck, where the gum gives natural shade on warm days. Staff will usually sort a water bowl if you ask, but bring your own on busy days to be safe. Order at the counter and settle outside.

Good to know. Coffee and breakfast from the morning, signature porchetta rolls from midday, and an evening pizza bar with cocktails later in the week. Confirm current hours before a special trip.

Getting there. Street parking runs along Hodgson Street and the surrounding residential blocks. It is walkable from the main Ocean Grove shopping strip.

Nearby with the dogs. Ocean Grove Main Beach and its off-leash zone are a few minutes away, and Blue Waters Lake Reserve is a short drive for a calmer walk.
