    This place is amazing ๐Ÿ‘ because they constantly update new activities for kids for Free. Thank you Darling Harbour team! You have done above and beyond our expectations. We particularly enjoy the outdoor stuff like Benches, sport activities, sky castle ๐Ÿฐ and Airship. Look forward for more surprises.

    Tumberlong Park is a nice open area in the heart of the city. It hosts many events on the grassed section where you will also find a covered stage. I have attended the annual Greek Festival every March for many years in this very spot. It has paid parking close by, as well as easy access to public transport. It is surrounded by lots of popular restaurants and cafes and a childrenโ€™s playground, making it the perfect spot for families.

    Nice place to sit around with friends and enjoy a meal. Thereโ€™s a lot of different food places around here, as well as various entertainment options. At the moment, there is an art installation with these inflatable creatures(?) that make faint noises. They change the installation every now and again. Thereโ€™s a lot of park area to sit around, and also formal seating or concrete areas (near ICC). There is always something going on here!

    The park is fairy large and can get busy but there is quite a lot of grassy area here so there is qutie a bit of space, even if it was busy. There are some trees around the park particularly on the playground end. There were also benches which didn't have any cover. The other end of the park leads to the Chinese Garden of Friendship and there are more trees here as well as a fountain which you can play in.

    One of the nicest people watching spots in Sydney. Always a cool, usually free, activity going on. Plenty of Police there as well so it is relatively safe and good for families. Can get quite busy when thereโ€™s an event or function going on. Nice place to relax.

    nice big, spacious, family and kid friendly park/playground nestled in the heart of the Sydney City CBD. Lots of great food options, dining space and picnic spots around the park, surrounded by fast food options and more fancy restaurants and cafes. Tumbalong Park is equipped with a huge playground with a water fountain and splash park directly next door with sheltered seating, public toilets every couple hundred metres, and a very accessible public pedestrian access all around with multiple public transport facilities like the light rail and trains, being a 5-10 minute walk away. Overall Tumbalong Park is an incredibly popular, accessible and loaded with many different attractions and activities, for individuals and family.

    There are some great kids facilities close by with a series of water features that the kids can manipulate themselves. There are also plenty of dining options nearby on almost all sides of the park. The park is walking distance from the city and is also accessible by public transport although not specifically close to any train station full stop you would need to use a combination of buses trams series and light rail depending on which direction you are coming from.

    Tumberlong park is a nice open area in the heart of the city. It hosts many activities on the grassed section in which you may additionally find a blanketed degree. There is also a lot of places to devour around, perfect for a circle of relatives day out when sunny, especially if you have little ones.

    (Translated by Google) It's always passing, but it's a pleasant space There is also a pretty Chinese park. In the afternoon, you can watch the young dance crew kids who have worked hard and do hobbies. On a fine day, I sat on the grass and read books. I don't recommend it because there is a lot of new shit.
