Clarkes Point Reserve

Located in Sydney’s Inner West, Clarkes Point Reserve in Woolwich offers a scenic, unfenced off-leash dog area with uninterrupted views of the Harbour Bridge, Cockatoo Island, and the city skyline.

It’s a tranquil waterfront spot with a strong local following — visitors frequently highlight its expansive grassy shoreline and iconic outlook.

The park is known for its dramatic harbour-side layout, with sweeping open grass areas leading down to the water’s edge, picnic-style benches, and a foreshore boardwalk that runs along the harbour.

It provides free and paid parking options, shaded seating, and a calm ambience ideal for casual dog play or unstructured exercise.

However, the off-leash area is unfenced, so reliable recall is essential when visiting — especially given the reserve’s proximity to the water and open edges.

Surrounded by the Woolwich Dock Historic area and walking access along the foreshore, the park connects naturally with local paths and offers historical context and scenic value to outings.

Clarkes Point Reserve appeals to confident, adventure-seeking dogs that enjoy waterfront roaming and stunning views — and their owners looking for a peaceful, picture-perfect outing.

Clarkes Point Reserve is managed by Hunter’s Hill Council.
