Frog Hollow Reserve
Frog Hollow Reserve is a green pocket in Surry Hills, a gentrified former haunt now popular with local dogs. Dogs are allowed off-leash here at all times as part of the City of Sydney off-leash program, and there are usually other dogs around to play with. It is fairly simple — limited seating and no BBQs or toilets — but a reliable spot for a run. A handy inner-city off-leash park.

What people say
Nice chilled park. Maybe too close to the main road and no seating. Great for dogs, questionable for lunch/ picnic..
Old mobster haunt which has been given the gentrification treatment. No barbecue facilities. No public toilet. No seating, apart from the ample stairs and ramps that allow access to this steep, almost amphitheatre space. Mostly just lawn with a couple of token gardens to break the green expanse. Mostly used for dog walking and picnic lunches... just ensure your meat is cooked before you arrive!
Interesting reserve with an apparently sordid past, as hinted at by a sign at the entrance located at the corner of Riley Street and Albion Street. It must have been quite the den of iniquity back in the day. This entrance also appears to be a collection point / dumping ground for E-bikes. A steep set of stairs is located here, however, there is a footpath-level entrance off Little Albion Street, and a ramp with a fairly gentle gradient further along Albion Street.
