    Talk about a playground with a view to die for... well not die rather smile for. It's stunning. The huge leafy trees keep the play area cool on a hot day. There are plenty of benches for parents to sit down and enjoy a take away coffee. The play equipment is colourful and in good nick. The netted climber thing is quite unique and loads of fun for the kids over four who are a bit more agile that the littlies. The playground is fenced off from the roads and rest of the park. There are public toilets nearby as well as plenty of cafes to get that well deserved caffeine fix.

    I have to say that this part of Sydney brings back quite a lot of memories, especially since a good friend of mine took me here years ago because she, well, lived in Sydney and knew all the good spots to go and not spend any money. I have to say that it is a lot better at night (and with company) but you still get some outstanding views of the city. However, as Dan rightly points out pretty much everybody else comes here, and you generally have to put up with quite a lot of noise as well. However, if you happen to be down here (maybe because you want to check out Milson's Point Railway Station) then you might as well take a bit more time and come for a walk down here.

    The Playground at Bradfield Park is sheltered from the sun by a large Fig tree though it does little to calm the wind tunnel that is Milsons Point on a bad day. It's worth knowing that the fruits from this tree which litter the playground aren't poisonous - it might seem obvious but to a non local it was palpitation inducing when I first saw my little one munching on one! The park is peculiar in that its facilities seems too cover an odd age range. There's a climbing net that suits older children and requires pre-schooler supervision and then a smaller activity centre for tiny tots but not really anything in the middle. No swings though, which is great if you want to give the biceps a break. Watch out for the low lying climbing net that seems to have been designed with this sole purpose of tripping up visiting grandmothers carrying Cappucinos (you can see the offending item in my photos) The toilets nearby are a hoot. They're the disguitingly filthy automated kind where you can perform your ablutions to music. It adds a charming comical feel as you scream 'don't touch anything' to your little play mates. Truly memorable.

    A giant outdoors botanical garden. Free entry always, which makes this even better…read more There are many sections to this garden. Each section dedicated to plants from different parts of the world. There is also a succulent garden with species from around the world. A palm house. Giant green spaces for picnics, trails around the park and along the water for runners and walkers. Benches to rest all along the park. Let me repeat, this is a huge park. By the waterfront you have a great view of the harbor bridge as well as the opera house. There is a small visitor center, a snack bar restaurant and also a fine dining restaurant. Various tours are offered if you feel like learning more about the plants or the birds or the history. Something for every taste here.

    Upon returning from Taronga Zoo to Sydney Harbor's Circular Quay, we continued our sightseeing and…read moreexercise at the Royal Botanic Gardens, which is adjacent to the Sydney Opera House. We walked along its well-paved, well-maintained waterfront pathways and into a few of the 15 various themed areas (Australian Rain Forest, Rose Garden, The Calyx, Fernery, Palace Garden, and Australian native collection). These gardens offered stunning views, a peaceful oasis, self-guided tours, and free Wi-Fi. Also, the Royal Botanic Gardens is home to the National Herbarium of New South Wales, which plays a leading scientific role. It took us several hours to complete our walk because we stopped several times to admire the various trees, plants, and flowers in different areas, before my allergies told me to exit the gardens. But, we saw many visitors and residents, families, couples, or singles making their day in the gardens through exercise or relaxation. Along the way, we also saw several well-dressed couples staging their wedding photos with professional photographers, the gardens providing beautiful, natural backdrops. We'd love to return to complete admiring the garden grounds, but I'll make sure to take medication before going, as I didn't realize how sensitive I would be to the native plants, trees, and flowers.

    Darling Quarter playground received it's much needed makeover, and what a makeover it is!…read moreThe sand pit is still there but slightly smaller, but the children won't notice because they are greeted by a much cooler distraction - the water play! shallow water puddles, water pumps, screws, and squirts everywhere! The flying fox is amazing, and climbing play is better than ever. There are a lot seating but we could do with more shades. The only bad thing about this playground is dragging the kids out afterwards and finding a restaurant that is happy to play host to wet and sandy bottoms. But that's why we pay big $$ at Darling Harbour ;)

    Darling Harbour has really kicked it into full gear as of late. A great representation of that is…read morethe evolution of Darling Quarter. A delight for both children and adults alike (and the self-proclaimed in betweeners like myself), this is a must see portion of the harbour. The kid's playground is spectacular. I agree with my fellow reviewers when they say it may be Sydney's best playground. If you can elbow the kids off the swinging, rotating disc, definitely do so, and take a ride. It's a surefire good time. And what about the slide? Yes, you can glide down the wide slide with several mates by your side (couldn't resist that one, sorry). During the weekdays around lunchtime, however, the Quarter becomes the "play and lounge" center for the nearby corporate crowd. With public ping pong tables (BYO paddles and balls), it's a good place to get a little physical without turning your business suit into a sweatsuit. And while you're letting your hair down, bring your lunch on over and sunbake in the public lounge chairs. It might just be the perfect pick-me-up to get you through the rest of your work day.

I rode a bike through here on the many improved trails that crisscross through this public space. Through here, there were teams practicing rugby, enough bicyclists to start a biker gang, joggers, runners, and people who were out to just take in the sunshine. As you cross through this park, you find lots of green open spaces large enough to play a full game of rugby, without running into a park bench or a tree. There's restrooms available. My favorite thing about this park is the huge stone gates at each entrance that remind you that you're entering an important public space. There's monuments throughout the park, and plenty of parking! I felt safe riding through here, just due to the sheer number of people who were out having a stroll in the park!
