Nothing bad to say. Nice little hidden Park in Surry Hills, what's not to like. Dog friendly, seats, plants, trees.. It's a park. And it's rarely busy, so bonus.

This park is situated elevated up a flight of stars. Its very easy to miss this area as it look like an entry to an apartment complex. Has a small patch of grass and usually the locals bring their dogs here. Apart from that there isnt much here maybe some benches to sit on. Dont forget to visit Batman Lane just across this park if you're a fan of the winged hero, there is a batman mural at the end of this lane.

A nice little fenced in park that allows dogs off leash. There still are doors out to the road however, so not 100% secure.

It's not so much of a reserve as the back door to this big apartment block. It's literally built on top of their car park. But there are places to sit and trees to give shade so it's not so bad.

Great park, great for puppies because you can shut the gate
