Fitzroy Gardens

Right in the thick of Potts Point, this little park punches well above its weight. The fountain and sculpture give it a proper sense of place — it’s not just grass and benches, it actually feels like somewhere. Kids gravitate to the slides, swings, and water feature while parents grab a shaded bench and decompress, which honestly works out well for everyone. Weekend markets pop up here too, so timing your visit right means you can grab something good from a local stall. It’s the kind of spot locals use constantly but visitors often walk straight past.
