3. Go for a run at Centennial Park

Where New York’s got Central Park, Sydney’s got Centennial Park. It’s a gorgeous 76.5ha open space right in the city central, and there are just so many things you can do here.

There are playing fields and playgrounds for the kids, cultivated gardens and lakes for couples to stroll around and admire, and sports grounds for active visitors. Plus, there are horse stables and a cafe-restaurant where you can just relax and nosh to pass the afternoon.

The park is also excellent for a morning walk or run, spanning 3.8 km around the oval. Bike rentals are also available if you want a quiet cycle round the secluded pathways.
