Bicentennial Park at Sydney Olympic Park is a stunning 40-hectare parkland offering a perfect blend of natural beauty and world-class facilities. The park becomes even more gorgeous during autumn, with vibrant, colorful leaves creating a picturesque setting—making it a perfect place for a photoshoot! Whether you're enjoying BBQs, cycling, or strolling through scenic lakeside meadows, there's something for everyone. The park’s lake is home to swans, pelicans, and ducks, adding to its natural charm. Highlights include the Treillage Tower with spectacular views, peaceful walking paths, bird hides, and fantastic playgrounds, including a Liberty Swing for kids. The Waterview Cafe is ideal for a relaxing break, and the Waterview Venue is perfect for events. You can also hire various pavilions like the Corymbia and Lake Pavilions for gatherings. Dogs on leashes are welcome (except in the Badu Mangroves), and there are off-leash areas. New parking conditions are in place from February 2025: the first 2 hours of parking are free if you register your vehicle plate number, after which a fee applies ($3 per hour on weekdays and $5 per hour on weekends). Just remember, during a Total Fire Ban, only park-installed BBQs can be used, and shelters must be secured properly. Whether for a casual visit or a special event, this park is a true gem in the heart of Sydney...
Read moreGreat park - lots to do & explore for everyone - any age. Great to take family & friends for bbq or picnic or just go for a walk or jog on one of the numerous paths in approx 40 acres of land. Wetlands, bush, grass, ponds, streams, wild life, fish, birds, playgrounds, cafes, venues and so more. Dogs are permitted on leash but look out for signs where u can’t go - such as areas with wildlife and the mangrove. There’s an off leash area as well near one of the parking sites. There’s information & maps to help with ur location n help with getting around the park but I recommend to check out sydneyolympicpark.com.au for an area map and if u have ur dog with u there’s a map with highlighted areas where u can n can’t take him & also find the off leash area. The web site also has a link for an app with a variety of tours of the park u can download. Also on the web site u can book venues n permits for weddings, meetings, fitness groups, etc. The park is open from sunset to sundown, there’s parking available & off street parking ( which I think is...
Read moreBicentennial Park is hands-down one of the best spots in Sydney Olympic Park. The atmosphere is unreal – calm, relaxing, and perfect for all kinds of gatherings. We booked one of those covered benches for a birthday, and it worked a treat! There are plenty of options for both big and small families, but you’ve got to book early – at least a week or two ahead.
The park is packed with things to do. There’s a top-notch playground for the kids, with swings, ladders, and heaps of fun equipment. You can also go for a short stroll to check out the ducks, fish, and other wildlife – a real treat for nature lovers. The facilities are spot on too, with clean public toilets and loads of shaded parking under trees.
If you’re planning a picnic, bring a mat, find a nice shady spot, and just soak in the chilled vibes. There are heaps of great spots for photos too, so don’t forget your camera. Honestly, it’s a ripper place for a day out, and I’d recommend it...
