Centennial Park is a beautiful lush landscaped park just ten minutes by bus from the CBD. There's a walking/running track around the edge of the park that is about 4km in distance and is a great flat run (approx 30 minutes) or easy walk (about an hour). On the Kensington side (entry via Alison Road) of the park, there's a... More

Sydney's Centennial Park should be visited when you are visiting? I find it hard to be satisfied with just one circumference of The Park, because each circuit will provide something different for you, in the way of views, and action!... You can do a half-lap, by taking the cross drive dissecting The Park, and then resume another circuit. This beautiful... More

The venue for the reception was a short walk away and cocktail style which was just amazing Highly recommend this placejust for a picnic in the park or to dine at the indoor outdoor... More

Great place to chill out. The path can be a bit over crowded with over enthusiastic runners and tiger mums with pram but its still a great walk. Sunny days in Autumn and Winter better than Summer but the trees provide greater shelter and add to the atmosphere.

New York is defined by CP and it deserves it accolades. But I gotta say Sydney's Centennial Park is right up there. Much more natural and less fussy than CP. Actually quiet. Got the public bus from the City (15 mins and $2:70) and picniced in the park. Then walked across the road to the horse track. Great afternoon there.

We just moved to Australia and live across the street from this park. A great, pedestrian friendly area to take a stroll and a brief respite from the urban environs.

Centennial park is a nice peaceful oasis for when you want a break from the commotion of the city. One of the best things about it is that it doesn't seem to attract tramps, like many of Sydney's other parks so you don't have to listen to the stories about needing a dollar to get a train to visit a...

This is a lovely park and quite large but you have to cross a road to get to the centre part. Cylists frequent this area as do cars so just watch out as some cyclists dont have much regard for people with kids

Lovely place to be with so much space; it's a great place to go relax or even to play some sports on the ovals throughout the grounds. One of the few places to go horse riding around the city too and is similarly good for bike riders.
