Hollis Park is a small, fenced neighbourhood park in Newtown where dogs are welcome on-leash. There's a playground, shade, and seating. It's a brief stop rather than a destination — a convenient green space in the backstreets.

Hollis Park id a smallish neighborhood park in Newtown that is very popular with residents. You see them regularly, visiting with their children and their dogs. There's a children's playground and open green spaces for dogs to run and play. There's also a fair number of benches to sit and relax.

Fantastic neighbourhood gem – Hollis Park Playground in Newtown! Recently upgraded fenced play area with a big multi-play structure for climbing, balancing, and sliding, plus swings, shade sails for sun protection, and soft-fall safety. It’s compact but packed with fun for a range of ages, surrounded by lovely green space, iconic Moreton Bay figs, and dog off-leash areas. Perfect for local families, picnics, or a quick play stop near King Street. Super community feel – love it!

This park has plenty to offer. The equipment is very safe and also different to most smaller parks. There is shade from the trees but not a big enough sail cloth over the top. It's definitely an AM activity.

Nice and tranquil park amid busy Newtown suburb. Plan to of seating and fenced children's playground area. However, parking can be a challenge in the surrounding area.

Nice little park. Got a swing set and a see saw and some other things for the kiddies to entertain themselves with. Got a few chairs that mums and dads can sit but also keep a close eye on the kids. It's got a nice green area where lots of people walk and play with their dogs.
