Cathy Freeman Park

Cathy Freeman Park is superbly nested at the Olympics Park. Plenty of parking spaces and perfect setting for the recent Spring Cycle 2022 event

Great place for the kids to visit and play. Accessible by car or public transport. Also before you make sure you check if an events on like a concert or sporting event cause it gets very packed if they are on.

Well designed to move crowds in/out, Cathy Freeman Park is a large, flat, grass area excellent for festival-style events. The nearby fountain and playground are great for kids, and there are toilets nearby for later clean-up. In Australia, the problem is always one of cover - there is minimal shade on the park so bring hats, sunscreen, sunglasses, umbrellas, etc. While there is one public bubbler nearby (with a pathetic dribble), there is also nowhere to refill water bottles so come prepared. Or duck into the nearby Locker Room pub for refreshments. The nearest (paid) parking is P1 and P8 and if you're not daunted enough by that somewhat industrial, local-knowledge description, please note that both carparks are about as far from the Cathy Freeman Park as the train, so public transport really is a viable option.

Great park for a picnic or play, right near stadium, playground and a few cafes

This was a great space for the event I attended. it was easy to get to by public transport, it has playgrounds for kids, lots of shade from the sun, lovely grass areas to put a picnic blanket down or picnic tables and chairs for use, plenty of restrooms too. the water feature was a nice touch. This is a lovely park to visit.

It's great place to feel cool as there is a artificial water fall and plenty of shade with amenities.l enjoyed it.

Very nice and clean.There is children under 7 good play ground cover by soft Flore and to many trees .Really good if your kids falling off you no need to worry ,because complete safety .Nearest toilet and drink water.and also lot off attractive place and train station just 200 MTR.

There is a children's park, picnic area and of course a big shower area or what ever you say that. Water keeps pouring every 15 mins. A great place for picnic with family and friends.

Lovely park, smack bang in the middle of Olympic precinct.Unfortunately, lack of trees and shades (aside from the sides) makes it extremely hot in summer.Good for walks and parks has amenities. Perfect for families on a day out with a picnic.Also, the site holds several events throughout the year, ie. Royal Easter Show, Sydney Vegan Market.
