Explore Sydney Olympic Park

Outside adventures

There’s plenty for all the family to enjoy at Sydney Olympic Park. Enjoy a day out in the parklands with a picnic; bring your bike and a helmet and explore the 35kms of bike paths spread throughout; join an Archery or Laser Tag program or take a dip in an Olympic pool at the Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre (currently closed due to improvement program - last updated June 2021).

During the school holidays, Sydney Olympic Park is host to a number of sports clinics where you can learn from some of Sydney’s best athletes and professional coaches or Meet a Park Ranger and learn all about the wildlife that also call Sydney Olympic Park ‘home’.
 

Blaxland Riverside Park Playground

Sydney's largest and most exciting park is lucky enough to be located within Sydney Olympic Park and draws visitors from all around who can easily spend the entire day at the Blaxland Riverside Park Playground. Man made mountains hide tunnels and slides and swings here swing so high the kids enter a whole other universe. 

The water play area is a hugely popular spot to cool off, especially for the little ones, and the climbing ropes and tracks in between make this park a must visit. Bike tracks, picnic spots, the beautiful Parramatta River running beside it makes for a great family day out.
