Take a quick stroll at the lovely Dudley Page Reserve in Dover Heights.
Are you looking for a place to enjoy Sydney’s majestic views? Well, there is no need for you to travel far. Just take a quick drive or bus ride to what arguably is the best Sydney eastern suburb park, the Dudley Page Reserve in Dover Heights.
At the Dudley Page Reserve, you get to experience a breathtaking panoramic view of some of Australia’s favourite icons such as the Sydney Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge, and Centrepoint Tower.
This park is set on such a prime location that a number of tourists visit this area for sightseeing. In fact, during the day you will see tourists dispersed all over the park eager to capture their perfect Australia souvenir photo.
But of course aside from tourists, locals are also fond of this park. During the holidays such as New Year’s Eve and Australia Day, expect to see heaps of families gathered around whilst enjoying the spectacular view that the park offers.
It is definitely an ideal place to visit on New Year’s Eve because of the fireworks display that can easily be spotted given the park’s vantage point and clear view of the city. The local council also organises a festive family friendly mini carnival that is set annually at this park during New Year’s Eve.
Dudley Page Reserve is also one of Sydney’s underrated yet beautiful spots for catching the sunrise and sunset.
