Trenerry Reserve

Trenerry Reserve sits on Wolseley Road at Coogee, one of Sydney's most popular eastern-beach suburbs. A much-loved clifftop reserve, it's a lovely green space by the sea — combining grassy areas and a foreshore setting with stunning ocean views on the headland near the famous Coogee-to-Bondi coastal walk, the kind of scenic, peaceful spot that's a genuine local favourite.

The appeal is that combination of a beautiful clifftop setting and spectacular ocean views: room to relax and take in the scenery, with the sea stretched out before you and the coastal walk right there, ideal for a stroll, a relax, a picnic or simply soaking up the views. The gorgeous headland outlook makes it a real highlight of the Coogee coastline.

With a 4.7 rating from more than 340 reviews, it's clearly a much-loved spot. The reserve is free and open, but facilities and any events vary, so it's worth taking sun protection on a warm day and being mindful near the clifftop edges — though for a stroll, a relax or those lovely ocean views, you can generally just turn up and enjoy Trenerry Reserve at Coogee.
