Cronulla Park is a primary coastal public space located directly adjacent to Cronulla Beach in New South Wales. It serves as a central hub for community recreation, featuring extensive manicured lawns and sheltered picnic areas.

The site frequently hosts local community markets and seasonal public events. Its geography provides a transition zone between the bustling retail precinct of Cronulla and the Pacific Ocean.
