Randwick sits between the University of NSW and the coast, with a mix of suburban parks and proximity to the Eastern Beaches. The suburb has a quieter, more residential feel than neighbouring Coogee and Bondi.

Alison Park and Paine Reserve are among the better-rated off-leash options, and the suburb connects to the broader Eastern Suburbs park network. The DOG is a confirmed dog-friendly hospitality option in the area. Most parks are on-leash with good facilities.

Where confirmed or clearly identified, we show the access status and any conditions that apply. Access information is based on the best evidence available and may not always reflect the latest changes.
