Rushcutters Bay Park is a waterfront green space at 2A New South Head Road in Sydney, with paths beside the bay and views of the harbour’s yachts. Come for a stroll, a picnic under the Moreton Bay fig trees or a workout at the outdoor fitness station. The park also has tennis courts, sports fields, cricket nets, a fenced playground and two cafes. Dogs can be off leash from 3:30pm to 10:30am, but not in Reg Bartley Oval or the playground.
Walks and harbour views
Paths run along the water at Rushcutters Bay, with views across the marina and the yachts in the bay. Open grass gives you room to walk, run, exercise or picnic. Moreton Bay fig trees provide shaded places to sit, and the park has wide paths suitable for prams.
For a quieter visit, head over early in the morning or later in the day. The waterfront is a draw throughout the day, and the views take in the boats moored across the bay.
