Centennial Park

A quiet eastern bay with sheltered sand and coastal headland walks. Low-key, salty and made for a sea-air stroll.

Glebe Point Road runs on coffee, secondhand books and Saturday markets, then spills down to a harbour foreshore walk. Bohemian to its bones and very glad to see your dog.

Racecourse, university and the green sprawl of Centennial Park on the doorstep. Leafy, lively and a short trot from Coogee sand — the east with room to move.

Harbour finger-wharf glamour with city grit, a stroll from the CBD. Walkable, characterful and handy for a waterside lap.

Cobblestones, harbour pubs and weekend markets under the Bridge. Sydney's oldest corner does history and a waterfront wander in one — dog by your side.

Green Square's high-rise heart, with new parks and wide footpaths threading between the towers. Brand-new, city-close and laid out for a quick loop.

Eastside-practical near Maroubra, with local parks and beaches a short hop away. Down-to-earth and good for a no-fuss walk.

Old rail yards turned markets and maker spaces, beside Redfern's buzz. Gritty, creative and walkable, with green pockets close by.

Sandstone terraces, boutique-lined Oxford Street and the leafy hush of Five Ways. Paddo does fashion and Sunday strolls in equal measure — bring a well-dressed dog.

Harbour foreshore beneath the Bridge, beside The Rocks' history. Scenic, walkable and made for a waterside city stroll.
