Cooper Park is a hidden gem tucked away between busy Bellevue Rd, Victoria St and Edgecliff Rd in Bellevue Hill, close to Bondi train station.
Stairs, stairs and more stairs…
Set in a gully, the park is littered with steep staircases winding their way through the lush tropical gardens. For those who are looking for a more leisurely, relaxing walk in one of Sydney’s most serene parks there is level access via the car park near the tennis courts.
The numerous stairs, 4 km of pathway (paved and unpaved) and expansive open grassed areas make the park ideal for numerous outdoor activities ranging from high intensity fitness to more meditative activities such as painting and relaxation or walking the dog.
Tennis Courts and Cafe
Cooper park tennis courts are available for hire 7 days a week with coaching available, on site showers and a cafe offering breakfast, lunch and assortment of baked goods to devour with your coffee.
Children’s playground
Directly next to the tennis courts is an extensive undercover children’s playground. Surrounded by lush tropical bush land and a bubbling stream it provides something a little different to your average play area. The park also houses a cricket pitch and practice nets. Dogs are allowed on leash at all time and off leash between 4.30pm and 8.30am in certain areas. Cooper Park is an easy walk from Bondi Junction train station.
