Tumbalong Park

Tumbalong Park is an urban greenspace in Darling Harbour with fountains, water features, and native Australian plants arranged throughout its landscaped grounds. The park offers several distinct areas to explore, including a dedicated children's section with water play facilities and climbing equipment.

The name comes from the Dharug language of the Eora people and refers to a place where they gathered seafood from the water. The land later became part of Sydney's modern harbour development and was eventually transformed into a public recreational space.

The park serves as a gathering place for major city celebrations like New Year's Eve and Australia Day, where crowds come together to mark important occasions. This role has made it a focal point for Sydney's public festivities and community events.

The park is easily reached by public transport, including rail, ferry, and tram connections. Multiple entrances provide good access, and clear pathways make it simple for visitors to move around and find different areas.

The children's area features a water play zone with multiple jets, slides, and a tall octopus-shaped climbing structure. This play area becomes especially popular during warmer months and offers a refreshing activity for families visiting the park.
