Lonely Planet review for Centennial Park

Scratched out of the dirt in 1888 in grand Victorian style, Sydney’s biggest park is a rambling 189-hectare expanse full of kids, horse riders, joggers, cyclists and in-line skaters. Explore the wide formal avenues, ponds, statues and Federation Pavilion – the spot where Australia was officially proclaimed a nation (on 1 January 1901). During summer, Moonlight Cinema and ear-splitting rock concerts attract the crowds. At the southern edge of the park is Royal Randwick Racecourse, while on its eastern edge it joins QueensPark and continues for another 26 hectares.
