Casuarina Central Park

The paths through Casuarina Central Park give the town centre a smooth, easy on-lead loop over open lawns and past shady groves. Coffee is never far away, since the network runs straight into the shops on Casuarina Way.

Lead rules

Tweed Shire Council requires dogs on a lead on public paths and open spaces here. Off-leash running is only allowed on designated beach zones.

Council enforces this firmly around Casuarina and Kingscliff to protect wildlife, including ground-nesting bush stone-curlews.

The walk

Concrete shared paths wind through the park and link to the wider coastal path network. The surface is even and suits prams too.

Council bins sit along the park and street corridors, but bring your own bags.

Max: Bush stone-curlews nest right on the ground around here. A short lead keeps a curious nose out of trouble.

Finish at She Oak Espresso or Tucker, both in Casuarina.

When to go

Early mornings are quiet and cool. The easy surface suits older dogs and short daily walks more than big runners.
