Sydney Olympic Park

When IOC president Juan Antonio Samaranch declared "and the winner is Schydeneey" he may not have realised that the 2000 Olympic Games would leave the the city with a great legacy in the form of Sydney Olympic Park.

The 640 hectare site now offers a number of recreational activities and cultural pursuits. The Visitors Centre which is open daily, runs guided tours of all the major venues including the Olympic Stadium & Aquatic Centre or you can take a self guided audio tour.
Best accessed via train, the Olympic Stadium is regulary used to host Rugby League & AFL games during the season. The Overflow Park is used as a backdrop for large scale arts events whilst the 100 hectare Bicentennial Park is a nice spot just to sit back and watch the world drift past.
