Cremorne Reserve sits on the Cremorne Point foreshore, with the stunning 3km harbour loop walk passing through. Dogs are welcome on-leash only, kept clear of the playground, and the harbour and city views along the way are some of the best on the Lower North Shore. With drinking water and grass on hand, it is a lovely spot for a scenic walk. A standout on-leash harbour walk.
Dogs are welcome at Cremorne Reserve but must be kept on-leash at all times (it is on North Sydney Council’s off-leash exception list) and not within 10 metres of the playground. (Source: North Sydney Council)

Great picturesque walk with views of city harbour and lots of maintained grass for sitting and picnics. Total 3km loop around the harbour. To note, if starting from Hodgson Avenue on the right, there are stairs to go down and more elevation going down but nearly no elevation from Cremorne Reserve way on the left. Also a public swimming pool and views of Opera House & Harbour bridge on the left side.
Magic space with magnificent views of the Harbour Bridge and Opera House.
This is more like a walking trail, high along the water. There are stairs down to the water. There are a few signs relating to flora, fauna and pests which are interesting. There is a picnic bench at the start, and one further on near the stairs down. And a wheelie bin. There is no playground in the reserve as such, but there is one adjecent, and it's very new and well maintained and has some interesting equipment I haven't seen elsewhere, like a formed plastic swing that is large enough for 90kg+ adults to relax back in. Two kinds of sprung see saw. And other balance and spinning items. It has a drink bottle refill station.
Easy and lovely walk. Mostly covered with tree shades. Exceptional views and many benches or grass areas along the way to take a rest.
