Solander Park is a quiet local park in Erskineville with a long, open shape that is good for throwing a ball. Dogs are allowed off-leash here at all times, as part of the City of Sydney off-leash program. It can get a little muddy after heavy rain, but it adds genuine green space to the area and suits an easy off-leash run. With cafes close by, it is a simple, handy neighbourhood spot.

A nice quiet park. Long, so you can throw the ball for your dog. Can get a bit muddy after heavy rain.

Great little local park. It’s not as impressive as nearby large parks (eg Sydney Park), but small local parks like this add so much to the area. It’s nice to have green space around, and good for locals to have green space, a close location to take dogs or kids, or just to hang out.

Beautiful park. Great open walking spaces. Amazing for families with young children as it provides loads of room for them to roam free while you keep your eyes on them and relax.
