If ever there was a truly Australian pilgrimage it is to Sydney Olympic Park, nerve centre of the Sydney 2000 Games and the Rugby World Cup 2003.
As well as the country’s sporting Mecca, the Park is home to many attractions including wonderful entertainment events and exhibitions, guided tours, restaurants, movies and marketsall set amongst spectacular architecture and beautiful natural parklands.

The Park hosts the Sydney Royal Easter Show every April and the Bledisloe Cup Rugby Union Test in September, plus individual events varying from symphony concerts to motocross in the Sydney SuperDome – the largest indoor arena in Australia.

The beautiful expanse of natural Parklands is a great place to walk, ride a bike or relax. It is also a wildlife haven especially for birds. Did you know the Sydney 2000 Games was dubbed ‘The Green Games’ due to its plant and animal protection, water and energy conservation and development of the first solar-powered athletic village?
There are tons of reasons to come to Sydney Olympic Park, but for most people sport is the most compelling. Or you can emulate great sporting moments yourself and swim in the wake of winners at the Aquatic Centre or draw a bow at Archery Park where Australia won its first gold medal in the sport.
Whatever the attraction, there’s no doubt this is a place fit for every occasion. Sydney Olympic Park is constantly changing and developing and is a ‘must see’ while in Sydney. Check out what’s new at one of Australia’s truly great places.
