Beautiful Sydney Park wetlands, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
Sydney Park is a 41.6-hectare recreational area in the inner-city area of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The parkland is located at St Peters, sitting along the borders of Alexandria, Newtown and Erskineville. Sydney Park is the third largest park in inner-city Sydney. The park comprises large open recreation spaces with distinctive hills that provide 360 degree views over Sydney, a children's playground, wetlands, a sports oval (Alan Davidson Oval), a children's bicycle track, sculptures, a heritage area featuring the remains of the brickworks that formerly occupied part of the site, and the AIDS Memorial Grove. The former brickworks area of the park is listed on the City of Sydney local government heritage list. Part of the park and its trees are slated to be removed due to the Westconnex transport project. Sydney Park features public sculpture including Michael Snape's The Trail 1990 which is displayed on top of the hill in the north-western corner of the park, the corner opposite to St Peters railway station. This corner, where King Street, Newtown turns into the Princes Highway, features the remains of the chimneys and brick kilns from the old brickworks site. These chimneys have been kept as heritage items and are a dominating feature of this area. 25621
