A dog owner's guide to Waterloo
Waterloo is one of Sydney's fastest-changing suburbs — large-scale redevelopment is transforming the area from social housing into a mixed residential precinct with new parks and public spaces being built alongside the construction.
What makes Waterloo dog-friendly
For dog owners, the emerging park network includes off-leash areas and fenced sections within the broader Sydney City region. The suburb is well-connected to Green Square and Redfern, and the George Hotel Waterloo is a dog-friendly local. As development progresses, the dog-friendly infrastructure is growing with it.
