Cornelian Bay Park contains remnant coastal vegetation that provides habitat for a variety of native animals and water birds, while the adjoining Cornelian Bay Cemetery is a place for quiet reflection and contemplation.

The off-lead area for dog exercise is from the foreshore car park to Cornelian Bay Point.

While exercising your dog in this reserve, help protect these values by:

• keeping your dog on established tracks and trails
• preventing your dog from entering the cemetery
• keeping your dog under effective control
• conducting dog off-lead exercise during daylight hours.

For more information please see the Dog Management Policy page.
