Sydney's grandest urban park, spanning 189 hectares with ponds, cycling tracks, horse riding trails, and wide open lawns. Hire a bike or bring a picnic and spend a full afternoon exploring the various ponds and woodland areas. On weekends it gets genuinely busy with families and cyclists, so arrive early for a good spot near the main pond.
