2025 Sydney Olympic Park Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

Unimaginable Urban Oasis 🌿 - A Day Tour at Sydney Olympic Park If you think Sydney Olympic Park is merely a collection of sports venues, you’re underestimating its charm. Whether you’re visiting for the first time or already familiar with Sydney, Sydney Olympic Park is worth exploring again with your feet and heart. This place not only boasts world-class sports and entertainment facilities but also features expansive wetlands, dense forests, and serene lakes and grasslands—a miraculous intersection of nature and urban civilization. Whether you want to cycle, take a leisurely stroll, go hiking, or quietly observe waterbirds, this is the perfect spot to relax and rejuvenate. 📌 Information 🕰️ Operating Hours: The park is open all day, but certain attractions like the Visitor Centre and bike rental shops operate seasonally. It’s recommended to check the official website or arrive early. 🏖️ Environment/Facilities: • Vast lawns and picnic areas • Bicycle rental stations • Ample public restrooms and water stations • Multiple family-friendly and accessible trails • Free birdwatching platforms and interpretation centers • Cafes, playgrounds, and small shops 📍 Address: Sydney Olympic Park NSW 2127, Australia (Approximately 30 minutes from Sydney Central Station via the T7 Olympic Line) 💰 Cost: Free entry. 🚴♀️ Green Urban Adventure Routes Sydney Olympic Park offers over 35 kilometers of dedicated walking and cycling paths, suitable for everyone from beginners to seasoned adventurers. Rent a bike and start at Bicentennial Park, ride through the rolling grasslands of Wentworth Common, the native forests of Cypress Pine Circuit, and extend your journey to the tranquil birdwatching platform by Lake Belvedere. Every turn reveals a breathtaking new view. The Brickpit Ring Walk elevated pathway is perfect for safe strolling, offering views of the vast wetlands below, which were once industrial sites and are now protected areas. Keep an eye out for the local iconic species, the Green and Golden Bell Frog. 🌅 Wetland Secrets and Bird Paradise For wildlife enthusiasts, this park is full of surprises. Sydney Olympic Park is home to over 200 bird species, attracting countless nature photographers and birdwatchers annually. At sunrise, take a walk through Narawang Wetlands to see egrets spreading their wings in the morning mist, black swans gliding across the lake, and possibly encounter flocks of kingfishers or reed warblers foraging among the reeds. Thoughtfully designed observation stations and interpretive signs not only protect the natural ecosystem but also allow visitors to connect closely with the rhythm of nature. Bringing binoculars is highly recommended for more delightful discoveries! 🚶♀️ Leisurely Strolls and Family-Friendly Afternoons Beyond its natural landscapes, Sydney Olympic Park is ideal for family outings or romantic walks. Spread out a picnic blanket on the grass at Cathy Freeman Park while watching kids play among the fountains, or take a riverside walk near Armory Wharf Café, where the sea breeze and picturesque views make for a perfect afternoon coffee break. Whether you’re an outdoor enthusiast or a traveler seeking a quiet corner to heal your soul, Sydney Olympic Park can fulfill all your nature-inspired dreams.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 The 27th Summer Olympic Games were held in Sydney, Australia in September 2000. This was the second time Australia hosted the Olympic Games after the 1956 Melbourne Olympics. This was also the only two Olympic Games in the Southern Hemisphere. The main theme of this Olympic Games emphasized "environmental protection and energy saving." The entire Olympic Park covers a vast area and often hosts large-scale events. The hardware facilities inside and outside the venue are well maintained.

#australiatrip Huge green space with lots of parking. Great place for jogging, hiking and running. There’s a lovely cafe by the lake which has good toilets. Can have birthday parties and do barbeque. Play area is tiny not huge. Plenty of shady spots to unwind. Keep in mind this park is huge maybe park closer to where you’re heading. Address: Australia Ave, Sydney Olympic Park NSW 2127, Australia

#AustraliaTravel #SydneyTravel #AustraliaSydney #PicnicPlaces Do you know “Sydney Olympic Park” where you can relax and heal in the heart of Sydney? A family of black storks were leisurely swimming in the lake in the park. When the weather gets warmer, various kinds of birds such as pelicans and mallards fly in and rest. 🐦🦢🪶 It’s a great place to have a picnic with your family or friends while looking at the lake🧺 Since the walking path is well-maintained, there were many people walking in the park, such as people walking their dogs and jogging. I want to recommend it as a perfect place for healing because the air is good, it’s quiet, and you can see wild animals. How about getting away from the heart of Sydney and relaxing and healing!!!

Every year during the Easter season, Sydney transforms. The Sydney Easter Show, held during the Easter period every year, attracts all Sydneysiders. The Easter Show is held at Sydney Olympic Park, and during the holiday season, a special train service is arranged, so you can take the train directly from Central Station. However, the station is so crowded that I can't say it's easy to get there. When this festival opens, Sydneysiders line up in huge lines to ride the roller coaster. Although there is Luna Park near Sydney, it looks even more fun because of the festive atmosphere. In fact, the Easter Show originally started as a place to promote local agricultural and livestock industries, and that tradition has continued to this day. Each farm exhibits wool, ducks, chickens, and cows, and experts grade them to select the best wool, best duck, etc. by breed. The winning farms and animals are given honors. However, the highlight of this show is the nighttime show held at the main stadium. The rodeo competition to determine the best cowboy, the horse parade, the sheep herding show by border collies, and the motorcycle stunts are followed by fireworks. Of course, it is not as good as the fireworks show on the Han River, but it is surprisingly long and surprisingly fun to watch. There are many food trucks inside the venue, so you don't have to worry about eating, but the prices are a bit steep.. But since it is a festival, I recommend that you close your eyes and enjoy it. Tickets are cheaper if you reserve them in advance, so make sure to reserve them early. #Australia #AustraliaTravel #Sydney #SydneyTravel #CityTravel #Festival #Festival

In the latter part of our adventure at Bubble Planet, mummy took us to the pool. But it wasn't the kind of pool you're likely thinking of - it was a pool with balls in it to make it look like one big bubble bath!🛁 It was so much fun! Mummy made sure we didn't sink too far! Mummy sank pretty deep, but she still made Cuddly and I stayed afloat. Besides, getting out is part of the fun! And you won't drown!☁️ We then walked through a room, surrounded by mirrors and colourful lights, something we all really like. There's a small path you have to walk through the room without touching any of the lights. It's out of this world! 🎆🎇 #postandearn #staycation #thingstodo #sydney #travel #familytravel #familytrip

Today Mummy took me and Cuddly to Bubble Planet at Sydney Olympic Park today! It was so much fun and colourful! We played on this illunminated floor with had projections of the sea, and when we stepped on it, bright sparks appeared!✨ We then went to the room where silver balloons floated about before having a rest in the interestingly lit dome. Mummy also took a photo of us in a bath tub full of rubber duckies! It was so cute!🦆 Stay tuned for more! #postandearn #familytravel #familytrip #thingstodo #travel #staycation #sydney

#aprilblooms Guys, I just can't contain my excitement and have to share this with you! I've just returned from the Sydney Royal Easter Show, and I'm still on cloud nine. The highlight? The spectacular fireworks display at the end of the night. The Royal Easter Show is an absolute blast. All day long, the place is buzzing with energy. There are amazing live shows that keep you on the edge of your seat, thrilling amusement rides that get your adrenaline pumping, and a food fair that's a paradise for your taste buds. You could spend an entire day there and still want more. But the grand finale – the fireworks – was truly unforgettable. As the last rays of sunlight faded, the entire venue hushed in anticipation. Then, with a loud "boom," the first firework shot into the night sky. In an instant, it exploded into a gigantic golden flower, bathing Sydney in a warm, magical glow. After that, it was a non - stop cascade of fireworks. Reds, greens, purples, blues – they came in every color imaginable and took on the most incredible shapes. Some streaked across the sky like shooting stars, others unfurled like a peacock's magnificent feathers, and a few even resembled glittering waterfalls pouring down from the heavens. The moment the fireworks burst, gasps and cheers erupted from the crowd. Kids were jumping up and down with pure joy, and adults couldn't help but pull out their phones to capture this magical moment. The fireworks, against the backdrop of Sydney's stunning cityscape, created a sight so breathtaking, it was like a scene straight out of a dream. It wasn't just a visual treat; it was a soul - stirring experience that made me fall in love with Sydney's unique charm and boundless romance all over again. #SydneyLife #RoyalEasterShow #FireworksDisplay #RomanticNight

Sydney Olympic Park, We Can Rent The Bikes And Cycle Around There, Beautiful Place. Spent Time With Family.

The Sydney Royal Easter Show runs for two weeks every year during March or April (it changed to align with the Easter long weekend). It is a must attend event for all families, friends of young and old and couples. There are lots to do from the Woolworths Food Dome where you can taste and discover lots of different types from food from pasta to macarons to the farm nursery where you can pat and feed the goats, sheep to chickens and watch the wood choppers compete. It’s a great day out! Lots of exciting and fun things to see!#sydney #Eastershow

The Sydney Royal Easter Show is held every March. The entrance fee is around $47. It is like a big fair that combines many competitions. There are competitions for dogs, cats, chickens, goats, sheep, rabbits, horses, alpacas, and even agricultural and farming products for sale. Handmade products, art competitions and exhibitions, cakes, knitting, paintings, sculptures. There are shops, lucky bags starting at $15, and various rides. You have to queue to buy tokens separately from the entrance fee. And it is very crowded. You have to queue for a while. If you come during Easter, you can experience the Aussie fair. It is very big. I recommend bringing a water bottle. There are many restrooms so don't worry. Food is always available, but it is best to bring your own water. #sydney #SydneyRoyalEasterShow #Sydneyevent #SydneyEaster

Should you visit Sydney and have some spare time, please do go to Sydney Olympic Park and enjoy the soothing and pleasant views.

Good room to stay #novotel

#2024TravelWish In 2023, I was lucky enough to go to Sydney Olympic Park Wharf and enjoy the sunset on the ferry. The destination was Circular Quay. There were beautiful scenery along the way, beautiful sea views, plus the beautiful city lights, and the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House. Everything was intoxicating. Travel wish for 2024: I want to go to Spain💃

My third and final trip to Australia for the Women’s World Cup, absolutely had a blast on my first SOLO YOLO trip, had a great time watching the game, meeting new friends and taking a well deserved break. I recommend everyone try it once in their life, to have time for themselves, find meaning for yourself and go enjoy an experience you always want to do, live your life with no regrets!#Womensworldcup #2023 #australia #yolo #solo
