What can I say. Fabulous park dog friendly. Off leash certain hours on leash 24/7. I would think most of the residents bring their dogs there each day for exercise. And the view of the bay is an added bonus. The kiosk in the park is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy either a meal, snack,delicious cake and one of the best coffees around or a freshly prepared juice. Of course there are many other selections.

Rushcutters Bay Park is a harbourside park with a foreshore walk connecting to Yarranabbe Park. The park has two sportsfields that cater for cricket, rugby union and soccer, and it has an outdoor personal fitness station. It is also a great place to enjoy a picnic on a sunny day or have a coffee at the parks next to the playground.! Its also a short walk to Edgecliff shopping centre
