Is there a separate small-dog section?

No. Reviewers who otherwise love Wentworth Park Dog Friendly Area name the missing small-dog section as its one real gap, so size mismatches get managed by whoever is present.

Not much of it. The most common wish in the reviews is for more grass turf, so expect a hard-surface run rather than a field.

When does it get busy?

After work. The core crowd is daily regulars from the surrounding blocks, and more than one reviewer describes coming every single day.

Is it a good fit for a dog who needs a steady group?

Better than most. Reviewers describe recurring playmates and recognizable dogs rather than a rotating cast, which suits dogs that settle faster in familiar company.
