Camperdown is a small Inner West suburb between Newtown and Glebe with a growing food scene and some surprisingly well-rated parks.

Inner West Council's permissive policy means dogs are welcome on-leash at all parks unless marked otherwise. O'Dea Reserve is one of the highest-rated parks in the inner west. Camperdown Commons adds a community garden and cafe in a converted space.
