Fabulous park with a massive off leash area for dogs. Tons of people out with their dogs walking enjoying the sunshine and hanging out at the kiosk. This place used to be a dumping ground in the old days and has been transformed into a gorgeous park. Sydney Park includes a series of visually prominent hills which provide panoramic views of the city skyline and Sydney Airport. There is a massive skate park, kids play areas and some of the heritage of this area has also been preserved nicely. Loved going here with our dog. read more

Located just south of Newtown is one of Sydney's best reclaimed green spaces. Sydney Park. Identifiable from the historical heritage listed brickworks chimneys from the days when the area used to be the brickworks for Sydney, it's a vast green area that is perfect for any recreational activity. Lovely open green areas perfect for walking the dog, and a large kids playground equipped with a large sandpit, climbing frames, swings and slides, it's got everything a kid needs to explore, play and wear themselves out. There's a challanging skate park, and a learn to ride bike area for the kids. There's also a sports oval where I believe a local Sydney grade cricket team plays during the summer months. Lush green grass is plentiful, and perfect for a picnic. Climb up the steep hills and you will find yourself with views stretching to the City and lower North Shore in the north, to the Aiport and Brighton le Sands region in the South, and on clear sunny days, free of smog and polloution you can glimpse the sprawling Blue Mountains and Great Dividing Range. Whether you're jogging or cycling through for a bit of quick fitness, or spending the day relaxing, it's a fantastic park with plenty of amenities. One downside is the toilets aren't the cleanest, and probably need more attention especially during weekend periods. There's a small cafe just outside the childrens play area which serves a good range of coffees and light meals. I'm sure in time that'll get a review on it's own. But with two young kids, it's going to be a regular destination for myself. And with walking distance to King St, Newtown, I'm sure there's plenty of opportunities for a cheeky beer or two in one of the many pubs and bars located along the strip. Or, if you're my wife, plenty of (window) shopping. read more

This is actually a pretty huge park, and one that I had no idea actually existed. Well, it's not really on the tourist track though so this is why it tends to be missed, and since there used to be a brick factory here, this park is probably rather new in the grand scheme of things. Still, it's a pretty cool park, especially with all the the ruins scattered around (well not quite, they are really on in the one corner) and a huge hill to climb as well. read more

I discovered the Sydney regional park nearby completely by accident, since it was close enough to my hotel. It is a semi large tract of land near the Sydney international airport. I've been here a couple of times over the course of my stay on the . City parks are the quintessential lifeblood of any city. You see a lot of people visiting these type of places for any number of reasons. Sydney Park is no exception. I did enjoy the brick chimneys that tower above the park. It was nice to be here during my short stay in Sydney, often a focus point of finding my way back to my hotel, as it was generally nearby when I went discovering and exploring around the airport district of Sydney (Mascot, NSW) being out and about. During my time here at the park, it seemed quite lush of vegetation that seem to be somewhat mirror image of Hyde Park in central Sydney. Although very scenic and beautifully orchestrated to highlight to visitors - like myself, and residents, Sydney park is an breath of fresh air and that life is definitely beautiful - in more ways than one - in south Sydney. I found myself spending time here a couple of times, just because I wanted to get out of the hotel and be out. Once, I spent the time playing Pokémon Go here, people watching, enjoying the beauty that is here. The other time was when it was just to kill time before my flight back home to the USA and spent a brief time here before heading to the airport. Love the green space and definitely chill vibe that permeates throughout the entire area. The overall experience here at Sydney Park is good and amazing. Any green space within a city is definitely an oasis and an escape from the world around us. Nature and the vegetation always seems to have a calming effect on the human psyche. While there seems to be a lack of lush vegetation, Sydney Park has its share of trees scattered throughout the property, with the towering iconic chimneys for character. It's just not really lush like how you'd imagine a jungle feeling would be. Still, it was nice to be here. Sydney Park is centrally located in south Sydney, near the airport. Its a perfect place to come to when you're killing time before your flight or just need that open space to de-stress and have the kids or pets roam free for a bit. Sydney Park is ideally suited for anyone: for residents and visitors alike to enjoy. There is no admission fee required! Yay! That's awesome and fun for anyone who wants to explore without having to pay a fee for its use. There are a few places to sit and relax. The shade from the tree canopy provides relief from the heat of the day was great, considering the Sydney in the spring time doesn't get too hot, but it helps to keep cool. For the most part though, Parking options can be tough, since there really isn't any parking lots or parking garages nearby to I don't know about. Street parking is a given for your best bet. It's nice to see many people from all walks of Sydney life to come here to the park for any reason. Just the inclusive ambiance that the gardens provides becomes and intrinsic part of the city's welcoming vibe. I imagine events are held here throughout the year, while private events fo hire can also be arranged. For the most part though, a visit to Sydney Park makes any trip to Sydney a pleasurable one, since you can see what the locals do and see how the community comes together. While it is probably isn't on most travel or tourism's top 10 list, it was one of my stops during my stay in Sydney's airport district. The best part was that the park itself was basically nearby from my hotel. The benches were nice to sit on and always nice to people watch when you have nothing better to do. If you find yourself in Sydney and love nature, consider coming here to Sydney Park. It's one of the many many things I've come to love about Sydney. I would recommend it. It makes you feel like a resident of Sydney rather than a tourist. I imagine the park is maintained by the good folks of the city of Mascot, NSW. Or even the city of Sydney herself. They have public restroom facilities, which is always a good thing. Not sure about public Wi-Fi though. I love it here and hope you will too. Definitely recommended on your next time here in Sydney Australia. 5.0 stars for the overall experience. Quiet ambiance with sometimes hearing kids playing makes me smile. Families together on any given day helps society for the better. Support local! A read more

Got to love the name - simple, direct, to the point. What was once (more than a good 21 years ago) a clay extraction and waste disposal site is now 44 hectares of parkland. There's a kids' playground (with rubber pathways for the stumblers), the Alan Davidson Oval (for cricket and Aussie Rules), public toilet facilities, and a series of wetlands (for native and visiting waterfowl). So whether you're an energetic kid or the parent of one, a birdwatcher or a jogger, you can pretty much get it all here. I'm a picnicker, and Sydney Park has provided for me too. Thanks, Sydney. read more

Best park in Sydney by far. Probably biased because I'm a dog owner/lover and the entire park is off leash.

Main reason to attend was Cantina Mobil was serving food but it is a great place for the kids to run around and enjoy themselves.
