Hyde Park is nice and peaceful when I want to work in quiet , but also has cool events that don't disturb the rest of the park . I just wish there were more WiFi hotspots, and fewer ibises.

Fall in love with Hyde Park north's central avenue with the canopy forming from grand fig trees . Love walking through this section of Australia's oldest park

Dash Hasler

This is a safe place, night and day. I've never had trouble walking through. It's also stunning all year round. Take a book , or simply lay back and enjoy the sun.

Grass is greenest opposite the Australian Museum . Also, the quietest and best spot for a nap in the park .

If ur a tourist and in desperate need of wifi like i do. Sit close to Australian Museum to use their wifi , which is free. U dont actually have to go inside to get the signal

A nice escape from the crowded streets of Sydney !

Annabel Rey

One of the gardener threw fertilisers on us and turned on the sprinklers that splashed water on us while we were on the park bench . He didn't say sorry or excuse me which I find a bit rude.

Hendra Wong

Go to Hyde Park on the weekends. Enjoy the scenery and fresh air . The only place for relaxing mind, body and soul in the city . Do not go when in summer, can be very hot.
