Beare Park

One of our favourite parks in the neighbourhood and not to be missed. Tucked away down Ithaca Road, this Harbourside Park is a stunner and the best place to join locals for a picnic on a sunny day. Grab your supplies from Harris Farm and Bottega del Vino and head on down! You will also find a beautiful sunny cafe down there overlooking the harbour at the Elizabeth Bay Marina, as well as a cute children’s playground. Enjoy the views whilst the kids play!

Fitzroy Gardens

Located literally on the apartment’s doorstep, the heritage listed Fitzroy Gardens is famed for the iconic El Alamein Fountain. Every Saturday there is a Farmers Market, with a whole host of food stalls with excellent food offerings and cheap, fresh flowers. There is also an absolutely fantastic playground suitable for babies and toddlers and up. If you are visiting with children, this is a great spot to get them mixing and playing with the local children and families, of which there are many. A great time to visit this Potts Point institution is Saturday for breakfast/brunch in the sun.
