Relax at Beachside Dixon Park Playground

Located midway between Bar Beach and Merewether, you’ll find Dixon Park. It’s on the popular Bather’s Way walking track in Newcastle and is the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the ocean views while your child plays in Dixon Park Playground.

It’s also a fully-fenced playground as it’s next to a timed off-leash dog area.

This playground with ocean views features a swing set with a baby swing, a spinner which kids can hang on to and a climbing structure with slide.
