One thing I’d do in Dulwich Hill

My pick

Start at Johnson Park and walk the GreenWay north.

Johnson Park is the main Dulwich Hill entry to the GreenWay, with a playground, picnic spots and public toilets. From there the path follows the light rail and the Hawthorne Canal. The full corridor runs about 6 kilometres from the Cooks River to Iron Cove and officially opened end to end in December 2025, so you can do a section or commit to the lot, roughly 75 minutes on foot without stops.
