Sydney Park

Sydney Park, Recreational park in Alexandria, Sydney, Australia

Sydney Park is a 41.6-hectare park in Alexandria, on the borders of Newtown and Erskineville. It has grassy hills with 360-degree views over Sydney, wetlands, the Alan Davidson Oval, a children's bicycle track, sculptures, and the remains of the former brickworks, including chimneys and kilns.

The site was once an industrial area with a brick pit and waste facility. It was redeveloped into a public park during the 1990s.

Since the 1990s the park has hosted the Punks Picnic, a gathering of anarcho-punks from Newtown and nearby suburbs. Shaun South organised the Summer Winds DIY music festival at the brickworks from 2006 to 2008, and a plaque marks the spot. Each September the park hosts Sydney's Earthdance event for the International Day of Peace.

The park sits in Alexandria, along the borders with Newtown and Erskineville; the brick kilns and chimneys stand at the north-west corner where King Street, Newtown becomes the Princes Highway, opposite St Peters station. Some areas allow dogs on walks, while ponds and wetlands are fenced off to protect birds and wildlife, including waterbirds, pelicans and Australian magpies. The St Peters Parkrun covers 5 km every Saturday morning on the bike trails and paths.

The park features an integrated stormwater system that captures and filters water to supply its wetlands. This clever design combines drainage management with environmental care across the grounds.
