Centennial Parklands

Centennial Parklands is a collection of three urban parklands located in the eastern suburbs of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

The parks are managed by the Centennial Park and Moore Park Trust, administered by the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage.

The Parklands have national significance and retain evidence of the original landforms. The area was part of the territory of the Gadi people and was designated as the Sydney Common in 1811. It plays a vital role in sustaining natural processes and biological diversity.

Centennial Park is the largest of the three parks, covering over 189 hectares. It was originally swampland and is considered one of Australia's most famous parks. It has formal gardens, ponds, statues, and sporting fields. It is also home to a variety of wildlife and hosts equestrian schools and other domestic animal endeavors.

Moore Park is a large urban park with open spaces and playing fields. It hosts athletics fields, a golf course, and tennis and netball courts. It is frequently used as a venue for outdoor events and is adjacent to the Sydney Football and Sydney Cricket stadia.

Queen's Park is a 26-hectare urban park with panoramic views. It was dedicated in 1888 and has numerous playing fields. The park underwent major renovations in 2009 to improve the quality of the playing fields and the children's playground.

Centennial Parklands is of exceptional national, state, and local heritage significance. It has strong associations with convict heritage, transportation routes, water supply, horticultural experimentation, and military use. The Parklands were added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register in 2000.
