I love walking around this park. So much to see. The fountain, lovely gardens. The War Memorial with the large pool of Remembrance. Lunch time crowds flock here along with the pigeon's to eat the sandwiches.

I was very impressed by this beautiful park in the heart of downtown Sydney. My hotel was right across the street. Trees were absolutely astonishing. And the collection of birds was amazing.

The pool of reflections is amazing as it has statues of myths and legends e.g. minotor. It brings some culture to the place and is educational as parents tell the stories behind the statues. The senate bar fountain where most people just lie down, have their lunches, and chill. Then there is Saint Mary's Cathedral. Which is utterly breathtaking. No... More

As I was visiting on business this was a great place just to chill out and watch the world go by for a couple of hours.

White settlers must have felt nostalgic and created this Hyde Park!! But unlike the original one in LONDON,This one is much smaller and I did not see any meeting or gathering or lecturing taking place here. It is almost bisected by a road into north and south parts. It is a mass of greenery with big shady trees, One part... More

Initially, I was underwhelmed by the park having just come from Japan. It is a nice park with plenty of canopy cover from all the trees. Cool and shaded, the park breaks up the surrounding concrete jungle. I liked the WWI memorial and reflecting pool, although the pigeon population is quite aggressive.

Nice little park in downtown. The park is cut in half by a street with the southern portion having a memorial and reflection pond and the northern portion having a small garden and fountain. On a warm day, everyone goes out and picnics on the lawn or plays games. I was told there were possums in the trees but I... More

Would have received an excellent rating but for the mass removal of trees that seem to be going on... and should have 'priority' pedestrian links across the connector roads..........

Yes, pretty pretty with Egrets prancing around instead of pigeons but I was surprised at how small it was. It's no Regents Park thats for sure!
