Why it's worth checking out

Cooper Park sits on Suttie Road at Bellevue Hill, in Sydney's well-heeled eastern suburbs. A large, much-loved park, it's a green oasis in the area — combining sweeping lawns and sporting facilities with a lovely pocket of remnant bushland, walking tracks, a creek and shady gullies, offering a real sense of nature close to the city.

The appeal is that combination of open parkland and genuine bushland: room to walk, picnic, play sport and relax, plus scenic bush tracks that wind through the gully, making it a popular spot for a stroll, a run or some time in nature. It's a peaceful, surprisingly wild green escape in the heart of the eastern suburbs, popular with families, walkers and dog owners.

With a 4.7 rating from more than 500 reviews, it's a much-loved spot. The park is free and open year-round, but the bush tracks involve natural terrain and conditions vary with the weather, so it's worth checking before you go — and wearing decent footwear on the trails — while enjoying the parkland, bushland and walking tracks that make Cooper Park such a lovely eastern-suburbs escape.
