Smell the sausages sizzling and hear the birds singing in the peaceful areas of Bicentennial Park, a park that is open sunrise to sunset every day of the year. Located west of the
CBD
, bordering
Sydney Olympic Park
, this fun area is a favourite for tourists and locals alike. The park has shelters and electric barbeque facilities so you can bring your own food and enjoy a shrimp on the barbie in the sun, interactive water fountains and several lookout towers with great views on the
Sydney Olympic Park
and the city.
The park combines the Badu Mongroves wetlands and Homebush Bay to set a beautiful scene of gentle hills, lakeside meadows and green vistas. The Badu Mangrove forests offers walking trails and scenic views of Homebush Bay and some fascinating old shipwrecks. Find some colourful birds including pelicans that are found here while taking the timber boardwalk within the Mangrove forests which is the best way to discover this area. Take it all in before you visit the impressive
Sydney Olympic Park
nearby and take some of the many short buses back into the centre of the city to explore more fun activities and points of interest.
