  • 5/5 Naresh Koirala (. 1 year ago on Google • 176 reviews
    Nice Park to spend time in the weekends. The area is fairly large with many trees more than a century old. The park has beautiful ponds like Duck pond, Lily pond, Randwick Pond, Busbys Pond etc., has Rose garden too. It has Centennial Homestead to fill up your tommy or grab a coffee or drink. Lots of picnic areas are out there for picnic lovers. Cycling and horse riding available too. There are a bunch of playgrounds too. Overall it’s a lovely place to visit.

    Centennial Parklands is a beautiful huge park in the eastern suburbs. A great park to go for a run, bike, chill by the lake or do picnic. The park has kids play area, a lake, bbq spots, restrooms, great bird life, centennial homestead (cafe/restaurant), etc. The park also has great variety of beautiful flowers, tall trees and many other species of different trees and plants. There’s also a moonlight (outdoor open air cinema) in the park which runs for a couple of months every year. Love it.

    It's such a treat to be able to roam the grounds here! It's beautiful! Complete with a little water park, cycle track, sports fields, kids' playground and kids bike track, restaurants, coffee shops, walks of all sorts of birdlife and flora, historical sites, equestrian trails and so much more! Well worth spending a few hours here exercising or just relaxing!

    A fresh and beautiful park in the heart of eastern suburbs. I love it when I need a walk or jog, even just to admire the flowers, plants, trees or animals. Just a lovely park, easy to reach and heaps family and friends activities such picnic or bike.

    It's the best place to walk or jog or even just to hang out or have picnic. It offers everything from lush green fields to tracks for running, cycling and even horse riding. There are lakes inside the park that offer serene views on sunny days.

    This is a beautiful and special place. The best things in life are free! If you want the best experience avoid the weekends and public holidays. Go there on a quiet weekday in Spring or Autumn while everyone is at work. Explore the whole park. The ponds and gardens are a must if you want to unwind and get some fresh air.

    Centennial Park is one of my favourite parks in Sydney. You can do so much - walking, cycling or running amidst the natural beauty of this park. It's also a great place to relax with your family! Love this park so much ❤️

    Lovely atmosphere. Incredibly open with a wonderful range of different environments to picnic in. The ducks, swans and magpies are also very cute! I recommend walking through the park in the rain, its very pretty and sometimes you'll see a turtle walking around.

    A retreat for the whole family. Great facilities and a friendly community. Walk, run or bike ride alone or with the loved ones. It is always safe and secure, I totally recommend to all looking for that relaxing day out with the family. I absolutely love the native flora and fauna on display all year round. Strive For Success

    Beautiful, beautiful park, but I can’t say the same for the people in it. ‘Health and well-being’ conscious people bike riding, walking and jogging but the amount of arguments/park rage I saw within my short 30 minute visit made me feel stressed! What a shame. A beautiful park to visit, steer clear of peak times though, Sunday morning being one of them.

    So many hidden gems in the HUGE iconic must-visit Centennial park. Mostly used by locals to excersize and picnic in, but is easily one of the best parks in NSW. With beautiful wetlands, animals, picnic facilities, sports grounds, off-lead dog areas, cafes, century-old trees, city views, lakes, visitor centre, pine forest, and a wonderful circular ring-road for easy access to all areas by bikes and cars.

  • 4/5 David S. 4 months ago on Google
    No complaints aside from a lack of shelter throughout the parklands. I've attended 2 music festivals now that have been cut short due to a thunderstorm and the only place to seek shelter nearby was under trees.....not ideal during a lightening storm. Otherwise 5 stars.

  • 5/5 Debbie G. 4 years ago on Google
    Fabulous. Family friendly. Great walk or cycle, good coffee

  • 4/5 Vira D. 3 years ago on Google
    Tha Park is a good place to go for a walk, jogging and bicycle riding. It is very relaxing and beautiful place to spend time, especially in Spring, when the flowers are blooming. However, it may get crowded over weekend.

  • 5/5 Nuntika P. 2 years ago on Google
    Big park! You can hire a big bike to ride around with your family they have for 2 adults and 2 kids in front or 4 adults and 2 kids in front. They clean all the time 👏🏻

  • 5/5 Monique G. 10 months ago on Google
    Beautiful park lots of different areas to explore, lots of free parking available, lots of walking tracks. A couple of cafes inside, the silver bullet is great, Centennial homestead is ok. Dog friendly, good spot for a picnic or catch-up with friends.

  • 4/5 Pawie Succotash Svastro (. 1 year ago on Google
    The best part about the park is of accessibility and most of the patrons very friendly as it is a very sophisticated venue. Best part is there's dog clubs that's set in particular calendar day. Then again, you should watch out for some overzealous fitness people that likes to run on the car path in opposite direction wgen you reverse out. Same as bicycles. 🙈

  • 5/5 Leoniza L. 3 years ago on Google • 21 reviews
    This is a great huge park for any activities that you like, a quality time bonding with family, from picnic to playing soccer even cricket. Theres also riding a horse, and even renting a bike. It has duck pond with big fishes and little turtles. Check out the garden as well. Its a perfect place for weekend. Also you can do some jogging and walking.

  • 5/5 Josh a. 1 year ago on Google
    This park is a must go destination if you live in Sydney or visiting. It’s huge and has something for everyone ranging from horses to picnic areas. Sports fields are everywhere and if you run it’s about a 5km circular track you can use. Topping it off the wildlife and plant life are beautiful and plentiful. Cooler in summer and beautiful in winter this attraction helps define the beauty that Sydney is known for. Plenty of parking and during the summer months they have an outdoor cinema. Great for children and adults alike

  • 5/5 Dean N. 2 years ago on Google
    Horticulturist lovers Park, something for everyone. Love seeing the horses and the cyclist and keep left unless over taking. Don't scare the wildlife, I know that bread is very convenient and clearly swans and ducks love it. Rip up lettuce and toss it into the shallows where swans can reach it (don’t throw their food onto a sandy beach). You can also sprinkle sweet corn kernels from a can into the shallows. Most swans love corn.

  • 5/5 Peter van B. 4 years ago on Google
    An absolutely sensational park. What I like most about it is that there’s so much space that everyone can carve out their own little space or join the party with others in the more popular spaces. There’s good food and drinks around the park and plenty of toilets and water fountains. I love this park.

  • 5/5 Mai V. 4 years ago on Google
