High Cross Park
High Cross Park is a dog-friendly park in Randwick. Just 50m away, Royal Hotel Randwick is a nearby spot to stop in after your walk.
Dog rules
Dogs must be kept on a leash at all times in this park. Off-leash exercise is only permitted in Randwick City Council's 17 designated leash-free areas — this is not one of them. Dogs are not permitted in playgrounds, sports courts, food preparation areas, schools, or wildlife protection areas. Please pick up after your dog — failure to do so attracts a $275 fine.

Two lunch tables. A garbage bin. A war memorial. No toilets. People playing with dogs in the parks. All 3 sides are surrounded by roads. There is now details about an old air raid terminal. Places to sit. No toilets.close to the tram station. People from the hospital come to have lunch.
A small park adjacent to the terminus of the light rail. A pleasant place away from the busy commercial area to sit & enjoy lunch, although the water fountain wasn't working & there are no public toilets.
High Cross Park is a small but well maintained area with a memorial plaza where you can sit and enjoy the outdoors, have lunch, reflect on life and learn a bit about local history. There is a memorial to air raid trenches that existed during WW2 with the outline of where they were shown by the paving design with seating and information provided. It's a beautiful spot to visit and is easily accessible by all, however its detracted by the noise from significant traffic during peak times. Very close to the light rail, retail shopping and Hospital facilities (literally across the road).
It's a little park in the middle of a very busy place so while it's restful it's not part ticularly peaceful
High Cross Park has recently been renovated into a memorial plaza where you can sit and reflect on life and local history. During recent construction for the new light rail system, they discovered the outline of a World War II air raid trench from 1942. The new paving in the plaza shows the outline and has seating surrounding it. It's a beautiful spot to sit and have lunch and is easily accessible.
