Equality Green is a dog-friendly park in Surry Hills where dogs are welcome on lead. You'll find BBQs nearby, while The Strawberry is around 300 metres away for an easy post-walk drink.
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)
The Rainbow path is a real highlight! However, 'Equality Green' marks the central lawn of Prince Alfred Park, not the footpath. The green commemorates the gathering that took place to hear the 2017 marriage equality decision (photo of sign, included). May2017: the lawn is currently fenced off for sprucing.
Sydney’s BEST rainbow? 🌈 Maybe, it’s definitely got something extra with those progressive arrows down the middle 🎉
This is the site where on 15 November 2017, 30,000 people gathered in solidarity to rally and hear the results of the postal survey. Shortly after 10am, the Australian statistician revealed that over 60% of Australians had voted for marriage equality. Cheers and jubilant shouts of “yes” rang out across the park. This will not change the official name of Prince Alfred Park. Naming the central lawn of Prince Alfred Park ‘Equality Green’ will serve as a permanent commemorative reminder of a significant event in Australia's history
Excellent community park. Exercising, walking, catching up, for children & walking baby
