Observatory Hill Park

Located in Sydney’s Inner City, Observatory Hill Park in Millers Point provides an off-leash space with some of the best views in the city.

The park is unfenced and set on elevated ground overlooking the Sydney Harbour Bridge and CBD skyline. Its unique setting and open grassy areas make it a memorable spot for dog owners who want more than just a local park.

The off-leash area is spacious and open, with rolling lawns, shady trees, and seating for owners. Its hilltop position creates a scenic, breezy atmosphere, and the open layout gives dogs plenty of room to run while owners enjoy the views.

Because the space is unfenced and sits close to surrounding roads, strong recall is essential. The grassed surface is generally well maintained, though it can become slippery or muddy after rain. There are no dog-specific facilities, so owners should bring their own water.

The park is within walking distance of The Rocks, Walsh Bay, and Barangaroo, giving owners easy access to cafés, pubs, and harbourfront walks. Its location makes it one of the most iconic spots for a dog outing in Sydney.

Observatory Hill Park is best suited to confident and energetic dogs who enjoy wide open runs and busy environments.

Observatory Hill Park is managed by the City of Sydney Council.
