Moore Park

King Street is tattooed, big-hearted and endlessly dog-friendly. Beer gardens, bookshops and pubs where the water bowl lands before the menu.

Inner-west edge with Sydney Park's off-leash acres on one side and a craft-brewery strip on the other. Industrial bones, Newtown energy and plenty of green to burn off.

Historic harbour-edge terraces beside Barangaroo's foreshore green. Sandstone-old, walkable and made for a scenic city stroll.

Glebe's quieter neighbour, with Harold Park's tramshed eats and Federation terraces on leafy lanes. Village-small, walkable and reliably dog-friendly.

Inner-city grit turned good. Indie cafes, Redfern Park's open green and a crowd that walks its dogs proudly. Close to everything, easy on four legs.

A brand-new harbour precinct with a headland park and foreshore promenade. Waterfront, walkable and made for a city-edge stroll.

A harbourside park with marina views and off-leash green, a stroll from the city. Leafy, breezy and easy with a dog.

Warehouse cafes, big skies and Sydney Park's off-leash acres on the doorstep. Industrial-cool with plenty of room for a proper zoomie.

Chinatown's neon and night-market buzz at the city's edge, with Belmore Park close. Dense, lively and walkable for a quick lap.

Green Square's shiny new heart: rooftop apartments, Gunyama Park and wide modern footpaths built for a lap. Brand-new Sydney, dog included from day one.
