Top things to do this Spring
Published on 01 September 2022
Spring is one of the best seasons in Woollahra. The temperature is just right, the crowds haven’t arrived yet and the flowers and trees are blooming.
Here are our suggestions for what to do in our local area during this glorious time of year.
Admire our jacarandas
Our local area is even more beautiful at this time of year as jacarandas paint the streets purple. An iconic part of our landscape, these beauties bloom for only a few weeks each year – so get your cameras out before they are gone again!

Enjoy some quality time with your doggo at the Rose Bay Foreshore
The Rose Bay Foreshore is a favourite spot amongst our local four-legged friends. Enjoy a morning or afternoon with your pup and watch them swim, run and jump to their hearts content.
Just remember to put your pooch back on a leash when leaving the area (the off leash area is between Dumaresq Reserve and Percival Park) and BYO dog poo bags. Read more about walking your dog in Woollahra.
