Observatory Hill Park

Observatory Hill Park is an oasis of tranquility in the heart of Sydney, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the bay and the famous Opera House.

The park's historic character is highlighted by the presence of the 1859 Sydney Observatory, a fascinating part of Australia's astronomical heritage.

Moreton Bay's huge fig trees create shady nooks perfect for a picnic, and the historic 1912 rotunda often hosts wedding ceremonies. The park is also home to interesting monuments, including the South African War Memorial and a sculpture of Hans Christian Andersen.
