Bicentennial Park

A Perfect Day


The Playground and BBQ area


The View from Bicentennial Park towards Rhodes

This Park has rapidly become one of our favourite spots in Sydney. It is situated right next to the Sydney Olympic Park, site of the 2000 Games, and has everything you could want for a great day out with kids. There are flat, wide bike paths, fountains, BBQ's, two fantastic playgrounds, wetlands with boardwalks, a cafe and a great visitor centre. You can also take your dog along as long as they are on a leash at all times (we saw a park ranger get very cross with the owner of an unleashed dog.)

One of the highlights of the park is the row of "steam fountains" in front of the treillage. About every 10 minutes these spray a fine mist from little nozzles dotted randomly over their entire length - beautiful, and very cooling on a warm day.
