Thomas Hogan Reserve is a small, green pocket park near Bondi, a quiet local gem tucked among the streets. Dogs are welcome on-leash, but must stay out of bushland except on designated paths and remain at least 10 metres from the playground. There are some steps down into it and bag stations on hand, with a playground nearby for families. An easy, low-key stop for an on-leash stroll.
Dog rules
Dogs are permitted on-leash at Thomas Hogan Reserve. Dogs are prohibited from bushland areas and within 10 metres of the children's playground, except on designated paths (assistance animals permitted). (Source: Waverley Council.)

Beautiful hidden gem in Bondi. Great for kids, and you can take dogs there as well (not a dog park, but safe to take a dog off lead). Quite a few steps to get down, but there is less of a hill on the old South head Rd entrance. Perfect spot to relax or play. A great stop for an urban hike.

Love this little gem that’s so close to my place. Very green and great to come here with your dog or kids. Walking up the stairs is a great exercise too.

Nice little playground for small kids with a big green area. Recommended for an afternoon play and little walk.
