Sydney Park and Old Brick Works

Sydney Park Brick Kilns

Sydney Park

Originally a landfill site and the location of a brickworks, Sydney Park is now a beautiful public space because of its landscaped gardens, meandering paths and wetlands. A total of 40Ha of ugly landfill was transformed into beautiful parkland, making it a wonderful place to relax and let the kids run around. With barbeques, playgrounds and open spaces, it’s a great place for a day out.

Getting To Sydney Park

Located around the park, several car parks which provide easy access. The closest train station is St Peter’s, directly across the road from the old brick kilns.

Old Brick Works and Chimneys

Disused for over 60 years, the now heritage listed brick works, provide a landmark near the St Peter’s train station because of the tall chimneys. During our visit, graffiti had defaced some of the lower kilns and buildings, which was very disappointing, taking away some of the appeal of the area.

The chimneys provide great photo opportunities and we spent some time here while we took pictures from different angles.

Wetlands

Several creeks flow through the park, which along with the City of Sydney’s water reuse program creates lovely wetlands. Bridges, viewing platforms and meandering paths allow visitors to admire the wetlands as they walk through the park. Keep an eye out for birds, because the wetlands attracts many of them here.

What Did We Think?

We found the park to be a great place to enjoy a walk through the landscaped gardens, which provide great photo opportunities. The heritage listed brickworks were interesting to see. Access from St Peter’s station made getting there easy from central Sydney, which we appreciated.
