Why it's worth checking out
Camperdown Park sits on Mallett Street at Camperdown, near Newtown in Sydney's vibrant inner west. A much-loved local park, it's a lovely green space — combining open lawns, mature trees, walking paths and a popular off-leash dog area in a relaxed, community setting close to the bustle of Newtown.
The appeal is that combination of open green space and an easygoing, inner-city-park vibe: room to walk, picnic, relax or let the dogs run around (it's a popular off-leash spot), all in the heart of one of Sydney's most characterful areas. It's a peaceful, welcoming green escape just off the busy strips of the inner west, popular with locals, families and dog owners.
With a 4.5 rating from more than 900 reviews, it's a much-loved spot. The park is free and open year-round, but facilities and any events vary, so it's worth checking the surrounds before a special trip — though for a walk, a picnic, a relax on the grass or some time with the dog, you can generally just turn up and enjoy Camperdown Park near Newtown.
