    This beautiful spot is ideal for bird watching. There are benches nearby to relax or one can go for a leisurely walk. Frogs could be heard, though I couldn't spot any. It's much appreciated that such an island of beauty exists within the city. The area is dog friendly. There are a few cafes, within the park, not far from the wetlands. A visit is highly recommended.

    Great place to walk and relax. Note it a total off leash dog park so don't go if you don't like dogs and dog people..

    The park and the wetlands are basically my back garden. I spent a lot of time here and I know the community equally spend time contributing their time to ensure the wildlife and plants here flourish. From a photography aspect, the stepping stones are the best place however it can be VERY busy on the weekends as it’s a popular feature in the park

    Beautiful park. You can feel the nature in the city. Perfect for families

  • 5/5 Mark Mc L. 1 year ago on Google
    Delightful nature park, not too far from the Sydney CBD. Several bird species were observed, including ducks, water fowl, cormorants, a pair of Black Swans, and the ubiquitous Ibis. The ponds also contain fish, during our visit we also saw an eel. Sydney Park is a nice place to visit to get away from the hustle-bustle of the city, it is fairly quiet, save for the noise of traffic near the park boundaries, and the occasional sounds of aircraft taking off from the nearby airport. Well maintained walking paths criss-cross the park, if you do elect to step off the paths, remember that this is a dog-friendly park, so tred carefully lol. Having said that, I did observe several dog owners diligently cleaning-up their dog's mess, and the 100 or so dogs I saw all appeared to be well socialised and on their best behaviour.

    Nice place with a person made waterfall. Unfortunately their are signs saying don’t let dogs in the water but people constantly do, ruining the environment for the native animals. Never seen a council ranger here in my life to police it. Signs are super small and it could easily be fixed with bigger and more no dog in water signs.

    Great place to relaxed and enjoy the atmosphere and weather.

  • 5/5 Susan A. 2 years ago on Google
    Great park with lots of bird life to enjoy thanks to all the nesting areas that have been put in place at the park. Always popular are the family of black swans who reside on the waterway and whose antics keep us entertained.

    Big park where you can do barbeque or enjoy with family including your pooch. There's wetland to see some ducks and birds, grassland for picnic and pooch to run around, playground and skateboarding. There's a few car parks around the park and could get busy during weekend evenings

    Park is great, however the mess around the brickworks near the station is not very impressive.

    Part of the Sydney Park precinct, it’s great to see a wildlife sanctuary in the heart of Sydney and a pleasant experience to walk around. You can spend 30 mins to an hour walking this area.
