Camperdown Memorial Rest Park — Attraction in Sydney

Camperdown Memorial Rest Park is a great park for meeting up with groups. There are a few areas with shade trees that are handy for mums and bubs groups or parties. These are prime location so arrive early if you need room for a larger group. I'm not a big fan of the playground because it lacks play equipment for infants and toddlers.

It is a truly local park that does its best to cater for as much of the community as possible. One small complaint... Put in toilets! Preferably bear the kids park. Kinda sick of sending my...

A nice park that's in a U-shape due to the church/cemetery in the middle. Most locals are probably referring to the grassy bit on the Camperdown side when they mention this park, but that's limiting it!

🚶‍♀️ Easy walk from the heart of Newtown.

🚘 Street parking is an absolute nightmare. You'll have better luck on the Camperdown side. Avoid...
