Parks and gardens in Sydney

Sydney’s green landscape includes the nation’s oldest public parkland at Hyde Park and the historic 1816 Royal Botanic Garden. Visitors can explore heritage-listed sites like the Paddington Reservoir Gardens and the 19th-century Vaucluse House estate. The collection features diverse environments, from the traditional Chinese Garden of Friendship and the hidden Wendy Whiteley's Garden to the expansive 189-hectare Centennial Park and the dramatic sandstone cliffs of The Gap, offering panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and Sydney Harbour.
