Why it's worth checking out
Dudley Page Reserve sits at the corner of Lancaster Road and Military Road at Dover Heights, on the clifftops in Sydney's eastern suburbs. A lovely grassy reserve perched high above the coast, it's renowned for its absolutely spectacular panoramic views — sweeping across the city skyline, the harbour and out to the ocean — making it one of the city's best vantage points (and a famous spot for the New Year's Eve fireworks).
The appeal is that combination of a beautiful grassy reserve and breathtaking views: the wide-open lawns and the stunning panorama over the city, harbour and ocean make it a wonderful spot for a picnic, a relax, taking in the scenery or watching the sunset over the city. Its spectacular outlook has made it a genuine favourite, and a famous spot for fireworks-watching.
With a 4.7 rating from more than 1,800 reviews, it's clearly a much-loved spot. The reserve is free and open, but conditions vary with the weather and the clifftop setting is exposed, so it's worth checking before you go — and taking sun protection and care near the cliffs — while enjoying the spectacular city-and-ocean views at Dudley Page Reserve.
