Cooper Park is a popular dog-friendly park in Bellevue Hill with both on-leash and off-leash areas. You'll find shaded areas and toilets nearby, while DOGLATERIA BONDI is around 900 metres away for an easy post-walk coffee.
Designated off-leash area in the lower section between 4:30pm and 8:30am. Dogs must be on-leash in all other areas of the park at all times. Dogs must be under effective control at all times. Maximum 4 dogs per person. Dog faeces must be removed. (Source: Woollahra Council — Walking Your Dog, woollahra.nsw.gov.au.)
Enjoyed a late afternoon coffee at the Cafe next to the tennis courts. Parking nearby, good cafe, family friendly areas, peaceful setting.
An unexpected find in the middle of suburbia. Great natural walks. Friendly to dogs and children. Tennis courts seem to be busy. And nearby there's a cricket pitch and a shaded playground for the little ones. And a cosy little kiosk for the much needed cappuccino and muffin. There's a small set of picnic tables.
It’s hard to imagine a park more magical than Cooper Park. Although there isn’t much to it - it has a childlike wonder and mystery that seems to captivate all who are curious enough to look for it. Eel feeding? Rock climbing? Turtle spotting? And some pretty good play equipment? All at Cooper Park.
Enchanting is the best way to describe my favourite park . Beautiful and wild that has not been altered much and is in a natural state . There is also a playground further down , a Cafe and tennis courts .
The Victoria Road end of the park has a grand staircase leading down to a lawn, then you can take the path on the left that descends into the creek valley or possibly a path on the right that sticks to the cliffs. Despite being near main roads, it's pretty quiet down there underneath the trees. There are several old interesting bridges and various paths going up the sides of the valley. Down the end of the valley are sports facilities, as well as some lawns and playgrounds popular with families. It's really a great urban park, offering dense forests and cliffs as well as recreational areas, I didn't have the time to walk through the park! So I took photos from here, I have even seen small turtles 🐢 in the small streams here
