Kurraba Reserve is a hidden harbourside spot at Neutral Bay with grassed lawns and breathtaking views over Sydney Harbour. In keeping with North Sydney's parks, dogs are welcome off-leash, kept on-leash in bushland and off playing fields during organised sport. There is parking on hand. A scenic off-leash reserve by the water.

Dog rules

North Sydney is a dog-friendly area and all Council parks and public reserves are off-leash areas, except for bushland areas, playing fields when organised sporting events are in progress, and venues where dogs are not allowed. Dogs must be under effective control at all times. (Source: North Sydney Council — northsydney.nsw.gov.au)

One of my favourite hidden spots I frequent when visiting Sydney Harbour. The breathtaking views across the water are difficult to explain and must be enjoyed in person. At night you can see the city skyline light up and Sydney comes alive. A serene harbourside gem with lush lawns, picnic spots, and stunning views of the Harbour Bridge is a must-visit. Perfect for relaxation, family outings, and sunset walks. Pet-friendly and peaceful. One of the best locations to watch the 31st night fireworks. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Nice spot to relax and check out the north side of the harbour with predominantly southern views back to the CBD Car parking can get sketchy but if you don’t drive here you are laughing , so best you arrive early if driving a car. Plenty of open grass area along the foreshore and the views of the Sydney Harbour. There are some renowned walks and hidden gardens in this region so allow plenty of time to enjoy .

As someone who was recently voted one of the Top Parks Reviewers by Google's analytics department, I can say this park justly deserves four stars.
