Dog rules

–Inner West Council's "Dog exercise areas" page states: "By law, dogs must be on a leash in public places unless the area is a designated off-leash area." Inner West Council publishes a list of gazetted off-leash areas; this venue is not on that list, so the council's general on-leash rule applies under the NSW Companion Animals Act 1998.

Amazing views of the city and harbour bridge

Accessible place with amazing views of the city and the Harbour Bridge. Lovely for a pic nic, a walk or just sitting on the wood benches and enjoy a me time. Ideal for fishing as I saw many people do.

Lovely views, small. Met a rude fisherman, and a lovely 103 year old, who I chatted with. Managed to park my motorcycle, but a car would be hopeless. Park nearby and walk.
