Sydney Olympic Park (full guide), originally the home of the best Olympic Games of all time (a statement that is definitely not affected by our own bias), is now both a recreational hotspot for adults and kids' playground.
For those who want to make the most of the fresh air and get outdoors the Park is teeming with activities to keep the whole family busy. Have a barbecue at Wentworth Common while the kids scrabble in the giant sandpit and swing on the Flying Fox. Or maybe grab a bike and head to the Wetlands, the Parklands circuits, or cruise around the Cauldron. Or meet the rangers, learn some wildlife tips and navigate your way around the park with compass and clues. Or try the flying trapeze workshop. Or golf. Or – you get the point – get down there and see for yourself.
