This 189 hectare grand park in the Victorian period tradition features formal gardens, ponds, grand avenues, statues, historic buildings and sporting fields.

More than a century ago Sydneysiders drove their carriages around the Grand Drive to take the air. Today, Centennial Park is a playground for walkers, joggers, roller-bladers and cyclists. It is also one of the few inner-city parks in the world to offer horse-riding facilities.

The Park is home to diverse flora and fauna and many significant tree plantings, including spectacular Port Jackson Figs, Holm Oaks and Norfolk Island Pines dating back to the early 19th century. It includes 10 ponds covering 26 hectares which are linked to the Botany Wetlands System. The Park also has a café and restaurant, a marquee site, and outdoor cinema site, and offers facilities for organised sporting activities. The Park also plays host to many outdoor concerts and recreational events. A visitor information point is located within the Trust’s offices, with a range of reference materials available. The historic Superintendent’s Residence, a Barnet designed building, located at Paddington Gates, is used as an exhibition space and an information centre. It is open from 10.00 am to 3.00 pm on weekends.
