Observatory Hill

For a park with a million dollar view, it’s hard to go past Observatory Hill.

A popular spot with locals, workers and visitors, Observatory Hill Park offers sweeping, panoramic views of Sydney Harbour and the Harbour Bridge for free. Nestled in the city centre, it is the perfect sport for a picnic.

The public park is also home to exercise stations, public artworks, a rotunda available for hire and a tennis court.

You can reach the park from Argyle Street, by steps from Kent Street (Agar Steps), Cumberland Street through a cutting in the Harbour Bridge and a pedestrian bridge from the city centre via the Bradfield Highway. A cycling path is also available from the Harbour Bridge.
