What people say
Caffyn Park offers a spectacular view overlooking the Sydney harbour and city, perfect for you to relax and enjoy a picnic or even a good book. This scenic park is located at the corner of Portland Street and Black Street in Dover Heights. Caffyn Park has a playground set that is ideal for toddlers. It has a set of swings, slippery dip, playhouse and fort climb for kids to play and enjoy. Due to its picturesque view, Caffyn Park is a popular spot during holidays. However, it must be noted that there are no food stalls nearby since Caffyn Park is in a residential area. Caffyn Park is also an alcohol-free zone. Rubbish bins are available at the park but toilet stalls are not. Dogs are allowed in Caffyn Park but they should be on leash and must be kept away from the children’s playground at all times. Parking is best on Portland Street, especially if you have mobility issues, due to the slope of the land, and is quite steep if entering from Gilbert Street via the stairs.
Lovely little park, located minutes bike ride from the city. Nice little playground for the kids and minutes from cliff top walls in the area. Nearby streets all have gorgeous harbour views. Great for a little picnic with the family.
