What to expect

Centennial Parklands is a must-see location in Sydney, made up of three major urban parks covering 360 hectares. The Parklands are aesthetically beautiful as well as historically significant, housing Australia's Federation Monument, The Federation Pavilion. Visitors can enjoy a walk, hire a bike, play a round of golf, go horse-riding, or have a picnic in the vast and beautifully maintained open green spaces. The park features over 15,000 trees, Australian wildlife, ponds, flower beds, statues, and a selection of cafes and restaurants. There are also multiple playgrounds, a wild flower garden, and designated areas for dogs to run off-leash. Outdoor fitness equipment and sports fields are available, as well as an equestrian centre for horse riding and an extensive cycling track
