Be the first to share a photo of this spot.

Fitzroy Gardens is a small, leafy green space in the heart of Potts Point, well known for its weekend market and the El Alamein fountain. Dogs are welcome on-leash, kept clear of the playground and food areas, as it is not one of the City of Sydney's designated off-leash parks. With cafes all around, it is a pleasant pause in a busy part of town. A handy on-leash pocket in the city.

Dog rules

Dogs are welcome in this park but must be kept on a leash at all times. Off-leash exercise is only permitted in the City of Sydney's 50 designated off-leash parks — this is not one of them. Dogs are prohibited from playgrounds, sports courts, and enclosed sports ovals. Please pick up after your dog and use bins where provided.

Small green space in Potts point. Great weekend market. Good play area for kids. Many cafes are around this park. Pet friendly. Beautiful fountain. Distance to different cities are displayed and its wonderful. Can expect homeless roaming around the park during evening and night.

Fitzroy Gardens is a beautiful and peaceful escape in the heart of Melbourne. The gardens are exceptionally well maintained, with lush greenery, wide walking paths, and plenty of shaded seating areas. It is perfect for a relaxing walk, a morning stroll, or simply enjoying nature away from the city noise. Paid Parking is available.

Wonderful public park with El Alamein Fountain, in the middle of our built up area so always needed! Excellent toilets (incl disabled access) beneath the Police Station. Fantastic Farmer’s Markets are held here too - it’s a wonderful place 🤩
