Sydney International Regatta Centre, Rowing and canoeing venue in New South Wales, Australia

Sydney International Regatta Centre is a rowing and canoeing venue in New South Wales, Australia. It features a long rowing course with lanes, starting pontoons, and a finish tower, set within a broad park with water and open ground.

The centre was built for the rowing events of the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. Since then, it has hosted many national and international competitions and remains a key training base.

The venue is a hub for local rowing and paddling clubs, and on weekends you can often see crews training on the water. The grandstand and the starting area are gathering spots for school and club competitions.

The venue is open to visitors when no events are taking place, and access to the water edge is mostly on flat ground. Check the event calendar before you go, as the site can be busy on race days.

The rowing course is fed by a nearby river and is designed to be deep enough to reduce waves, which helps keep the water still for races. The site also has a separate warm-up area that is connected to the main course by a channel.
