Every inner-city suburb needs a garden respite and for Redfern, the centrally-located Redfern Park is it. While the park is dotted with palm trees and water fountains, this is far from a secluded oasis. It is brimming with facilities, including basketball courts, playground and a skate park. Pups can get some off-leash action in the early mornings and evenings. If the agenda is a bit more relaxed, grab a coffee and pastry from Breadfern and nestle up in the shade with a novel. The adjoining oval was the home ground for the South Sydney Rabbitohs for many years and still serves as one of the clubs primary training grounds if you're keen to observe.
