Good George

Good George sits inside Parramatta Park near the O'Connell Street entrance, which makes it one of the easier dog stops in the area - a relaxed garden-style cafe you can fold into a park walk without leaving the green.

The dog setup. Seating is mostly outdoor and rustic, ringed by grass and trees, and dogs are welcome on a lead. The cafe puts out water bowls and has historically sold dog biscuits, so it is set up for four-legged regulars.

Good to know. It is a go-to for coffee or breakfast mid-walk - bacon and egg rolls, granola and solid coffee - with a relaxed, family-friendly feel. Open 7 days, roughly 6:30am to 2pm.

Getting there and parking. On O'Connell Street inside Parramatta Park. There is a large free car park adjacent to the cafe within the park, accessible from O'Connell Street, and you can also walk in from the street or along the park trails.

Nearby with the dogs. Parramatta Park is right there - extensive on-leash walking across heritage parkland - with the Parramatta River walk close by and a playground near the cafe for families.

Best early on a weekend before the park fills, or any weekday morning. Good for big runners who want a proper walk built around the coffee stop.
