Discovery Point Park

This is such a great open space for everyone to take their dogs. Well maintained and landscaped with the bonus of a beautiful historic house and church to admire. Interesting facts on placards and the river as a boundary make for an interesting place for people as well as their dog. Plus a community garden for the locals.

Simple park for exercise or walking the dog. They have a playground but very much suited to under 6yrs. If you want a better playground then cross the princess highway.nnBe careful of walking your dog off lead or playing fetch here as there are park rangers at times trying to book people.nnIf you don’t know, please remember that discovery park is private property owned by the property developers.nnSo if a park ranger does try to book you, then ask for the proof stating that the owners have allowed access to the park otherwise there are not to issue tickets as it’s against the law! (Know your rights!!)nnIf your worried or don’t want the hassle of park rangers then there is a off leash dog park about 10mins walk near Rowers.

Not a far walk from Wolli Creek Train Station (approx 10-15 minutes walk)nnThe view is very pretty and this place is perfect for exercising, regardless if it’s a brisk walk, jogging, cycling.. Other people are exercising also, so you will feel safe and sound if you go alone.

This is a beautiful park comprised of part of the land originally owned by Alexander Brodie Spark where he built the now historical Tempe House named after the Vale of Tempe in Greece. There are beautiful walking paths throughout the grounds with gorgeous peek a boo views of the Cooks River. There are several educational plaques erected where you can take a walk and learn a little history of the area. There is also a very well maintained Communal Garden.nnThere’s a nicely shaded area with picnic tables that even has a couple bbqs. It’s dog friendly with waste bags and bins provided to pick up after your pup. There’s a small playground area aimed at the toddler age that’s fenced off. While there isn’t much street parking nearby, it’s close to the Discovery Shopping Centre parking garage where there’s plenty of spaces that’s free for 3 hours. Just turn into Brodie Spark Drive then follow the P signs, and you’ll find it. It’s a lovely space to spend some time!

Really lovely place to take your dogs or to have a quiet lie down. Being surrounded by apartments means it's not well known or easily spotted.
