Kensington

Kensington is a residential suburb in southeastern New South Wales that offers various parks, playgrounds, and community facilities scattered throughout the area. The neighborhood sits within Randwick City Council jurisdiction and provides green spaces for daily recreation.

The suburb began as land grants in the early 19th century and gradually grew into a structured residential community. It later became part of Randwick City Council as local governance structures evolved.

The presence of the University of New South Wales draws international students and faculty who contribute to the neighborhood's diversity. This influence shapes the local businesses and everyday interactions across the suburb.

Several bus routes connect the suburb to neighboring areas, making car-free travel convenient for residents and visitors. Walking through the neighborhood is pleasant with wide footpaths and quiet streets suitable for exploring on foot.

Eight designated playgrounds are distributed throughout the suburb, creating a network of play spaces that parents and families can easily access. This abundance of recreational facilities makes it particularly family-oriented.
