Walking Newtown: the local loops
Newtown Park Rose Garden Walk — A paved path winding through beautiful rose gardens and open green spaces within Newtown Park, with views of the historic grandstand. Lead-on throughout unless council signage says otherwise. Benches and shade appear often enough for a slow dog.
Gatton Street Park Path — A short, paved loop around a local park with playground facilities and mature trees, suitable for a quick stroll. Lead-on throughout unless council signage says otherwise. Benches and shade appear often enough for a slow dog.
Black Gully Reserve Path — A natural unpaved path following Black Gully, offering a more natural bushland experience with native vegetation and birdlife, accessible from the northern edge of Newtown. Lead-on throughout unless council signage says otherwise. A coffee stop is never far on the way back.
