Clarke Reserve is a small clifftop reserve in Vaucluse, known for its large flat rock and a ledge with ocean views. Dogs are welcome on-leash, kept clear of playgrounds and food areas, and it is a simple spot for a short walk with a view. It is more a place to pause than a park to roam. A quiet on-leash reserve on the cliffs.
Dog rules
Dogs must be kept on a lead at all times when in public unless in a sign-posted off-leash area. Dogs are prohibited within 10 metres of children's play areas, within 10 metres of food preparation/consumption areas (except outdoor dining), from school grounds and childcare centres. Dog owners must clean up after their dogs. Source: Woollahra Municipal Council – Walking Your Dog (woollahra.nsw.gov.au/Services/Animals-and-Pets/Walking-Your-Dog)

There's a rock, one flat rock, the size is indescribable. There's a central area where rain can gather, a ledge where people can dangle their feet, or just lie down in the sun. Closer to the ocean is a path with benches in the shade and views of the lighthouse on Bondi Junction. The breezes cool. There's also a field where many dig owners play with their pets. It's a beautiful, relaxing park.

Another great place in the eastern suburb for outdoor exercise, taking scenic photos and relaxing with the kids. There is also a walkway at the edge of the cliff looking out to the South Pacific ocean.
