Bicentennial Park, Glebe Foreshore

I love this park, being a local. Beautiful water views, incredible for early morning runs and afternoon picnics. Lots of dogs, families, travelers, couples… There’s a few gazebos and picnic tables if you get there early. Bf and I brought some friends here for an Easter Sunday and it was perfect. A hidden Sydney gem!

I LOVE this park! There are serveal huge fields to have games on, everyone walks their dogs freely, there are BBQ stations around, and of course an excellent view of the bay. It’s the perfect place to spend your afternoon outdoors.

I came here for a picnic with the girls not long ago, and this weekend I was back for the 2^nd ever fire twirling jam night.
We oohed, we ahhed and we got adopted by various adorable pooches.
I’m still in love with the versitality of this park.

When the sun is out and the air is warm, I head to this park to relax. Being at the bottom of my street, it is the perfect location to escape to the water and glance at the Sydney skyline from the West. It’s an expansive yet tidy field with lush trees and several walking paths. If you’re a jogger like me, there’s a trail that runs along the harbor from the renowned Boathouse on Blackwattle Bay Restaurant to the M4. This route offers views of the Anzac bridge and Rozelle Bay.
There are dogs everywhere, and I have to say, I am so impressed with how most of them are off their leashes, yet don’t disturb one another or the people who run past them. I know my dog would wander off on her own accord, ignoring my demands to heel. Despite this park being filled with dogs in the late afternoon, it is relatively empty earlier on weekdays, making it perfect for a picnic. Or come here to read a book; there are benches all around the park that make it a very pleasant and quiet location to immerse oneself in a great story.

Bicentennial Park in Glebe is one of my favourite places in Sydney.
Having lived a short walk from the park for two years, the hugely versatile park plays host to so many pretty memories: playing ukulele by the waters edge on a muggy summer evening; eating fish & chips on a picnic rug on the grass as joggers pass with their dogs; playing soccer with a bunch of friends on a Sunday afternoon; taking my parents for walks down along the water; playing with a scurry of dogs in the off-​leash side of the bridge as the owners reward them with treats and mingle near the bbq area; going for daily runs around the park as the sun set and the stars began to reflect off the water, and sitting on the hill on New Years Eve with cider and strawberries as hundreds of Glebe and Blackwattle Bay locals face the bridge and wait for night to fall.
If you don’t like dogs, Bicentennial Park might not be the one for you. Also, if you’re not used to keeping your dog on the leash, be careful here as rangers patrol the on-​leash area pretty frequently. Otherwise, with panoramic views of Rozelle Bay, this park is perfect for almost anything — just ask the Wicked van backpackers that set up camp in the parking bays all summer.
