Corning Park is a small, attractive park in Waterloo — a slice of green in the inner city, popular with local dog owners. Dogs are welcome on-leash under City of Sydney rules, with a playground and accessible paths on hand. The grass can be patchy at times, but it is a pleasant spot for a walk. A handy on-leash pocket park.

Dog rules

Dogs must be on a leash at this park under City of Sydney rules. Off-leash exercise is permitted only in the City of Sydney's designated off-leash areas. (Source: City of Sydney Council — cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au)

Beautiful little park, a slice of paradise in the city. Popular destination for dog owners, but the grass can be patchy at times.

Big park with plenty of grass, water features and a playground. The playground is not big but still good with swing, slides and a climbing frame. Our kids love it and we visit almost every week. The park is dog friendly and it's a great place to head down and meet the other dog owning locals.

Lovely green space with a delightful glass blowing history. Look for the variety of signs across Corning, Crown and Crystal parks (adjoining) Worth having a special look for 'Watchful Harry Square', which has 5 pieces of equipment and a painted backdrop, telling a part of the history of this square. Also look for a historic chimney.
