Harold Reid Reserve is a dog-friendly park in Middle Cove.
Nice little walking route with some good views of the river/harbour. I walked for about 90 mins return. Can keep going if you want a longer walk.
A quiet area less known with amazing views and a real escape from the city. Some bush hikes that can go further or you can keep it short and stay in the region. Highly recommend for an adventure walk or a family picnic spot. My husband and I set up our hammocks and stayed there for hours
Something for everybody here - if you feel energetic you can take strenuous walking options; if you don't you can park in the car park and have a gentle stroll through the bushand and enjoy the views of Fig Tree Cove. We joined the path at the Southern end on Sugarloaf Crescent (but that's because we live nearby and can walk there. It's a residential street so you can park there. too. The path is easy to follow, though there are plenty of steps. we followed the steps down to the lookout and then followed the path right round the headland to North Arm Road. There are stunning views of the water and the headlands to the north and south. Not much in the way of facilities, though - the nearest cup of coffee is a couple of kilometers away! But then you don't come here for the coffee. If you're adventurous, you can carry on from North Arm Road onto the North Arm walking track, which is another bushland/waterside track - though that is quite a long way round. And all this time, you are about 7km, as the crow flies, from the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
