Marks Park
Dog rating
Marks Park sits on the clifftop between Bondi and Tamarama, with open lawns and clear views straight out to the ocean. It is off-leash daily between 4:30pm and 8:30am, so early mornings and evenings are the best times for dogs to stretch out on the grass. Off-leash access is suspended each spring during Sculpture by the Sea. With the coastal path beside it and the headland opening onto big ocean views, it works just as well for a scenic wander as it does for off-leash time.
Dog rules
Timed off-leash: 4:30pm to 8:30am daily, except during Sculptures by the Sea event. Dogs must be on a leash outside of these times. Prohibited: bushland areas; within 10 metres of children's playground. (Source: Waverley Council — waverley.nsw.gov.au)

Beautiful location along the Coogee to Bondi coastal walk. Amazing views, lots of grass to run around. Just be careful of your dogs love water. We needed to keep ours on leash or they would have tried to jump off the cliff.

Mark Park features lush green lawns with a stunning view straight out to the ocean. It’s a perfect spot to relax, picnic and enjoy the scenery, and you’ll often see lots of adorable dogs playing around. A truly chill and charming place to visit in Sydney

A really easy and beautiful walk up from Bondi Beach. The views are stunning and totally worth the short climb. Just a heads-up : it can get very windy up there! Great little stop if you’re exploring the coastal walk.

2025’s Sculptures by the Sea had several iconic entries and was a lovely walk starting from Taramara Beach to Bondi. Part of the path from this park to Bondi was closed due to erosion, but still made for a memorable walk with strong winds.

Saw the exhibits of the 2025 Sculptures By The Sea at Marks Park, Bondi ... varied exhibits ranging from a stylized representation of envy to an imaginative haven, again, to an invitation to contemplate the ever-present tussle between the utopian-dystopian argument today ... very stimulating, indeed ... food for thought if you have that sort of hunger in you ... then again it's good enough even for a day out to mingle with other beings ! There is a programme being handed out to thise lucky (or early) enough to snare one, cataloguing the sculptors and a synopsis of their presentations.
