On the Grid : Prince Alfred Park

"Real talk time: Surry Hills can be a bit of a rough around the edges. But then there’s Prince Alfred Park. It’s just – nice. There’s great views of the city, wide open spaces, a heated outdoor pool, gym equipment, modern play equipment for kids, some tress, a bike path through the middle… and everyone there just seems happy to be there. If the compressed griminess of Surry Hills is getting you down, head down to the Prince Alfred. It’s the perfect cure for a 'Slurry Hills' hangover." - For the People

"This is one of the city’s most state-of-the-art and sustainable parks, thanks to an award-winning $9 million 2013 redevelopment. A "poetic reinterpretation of Sydney’s large 19th-century parks," it includes a gorgeous 50-metre heated outdoor pool and toddlers’ splash zone (princealfred.org), lined with yellow umbrellas, loungers, and sloped landscaping, including a native grass roof and resort-worthy palms. A cafe, sky-lit changing rooms, and shaded spots sit alongside. You’ll find fitness stations and an alfresco gym dotted through the park, plus two playgrounds, an oversized tree seat, a hillside slide, barbecue and picnic facilities, and off-leash areas for hounds. Even the pool’s ventilation chimneys are arty." - Sophie Davies

I went for a rally. Very warm day, but the beautiful trees provided shade, and a cool breeze was coming in from the coast. I walked around a bit and noticed a lot of facilities, things to do, and lots of people taking advantage. The grounds were well maintained. Looks like a great spot for a family get together and bbq!!

This park is a wonderful place to relax and unwind. It’s clean, well maintained, and has plenty of green space to enjoy. The walking paths are great, and there are good facilities for families and children. It’s peaceful, safe, and perfect for picnics, exercise, or just spending time outdoors. A great spot for the community and definitely worth visiting.

Large leafy and spread out park beside the central station of Sydney. Prince Alfred Park is an exceptional green space situated in the heart of the city. Its verdant surroundings, tranquil ambiance, and meticulously maintained facilities provide an ideal sanctuary from the bustling urban environment. Whether engaging in leisurely strolls, participating in athletic activities, or simply basking in the sunlight, Prince Alfred Park offers a serene haven for individuals of all ages. A visit to this remarkable park is highly recommended !

My daughter loves this place. It's very close to Central. From a kids play perspective it has a big wide slide, swings, see-saw, etc. There is also a mini park at the entrance with a wooden boat and an elephant shaped slide. Rainbow road is a highlight. There are benches available to sit. Overall a nice place to easily spend 2-3 hours. It's well maintained as well. Must visit !!

Great park with good facilities and plenty of space to sit, run, throw, and sleep. My only grievance relates to a particular footpath that appears to honour or celebrate certain types of intimacy that involve the rectum.

A lovely bit of respite in the city. This green space is more likely a 'take a breather' spot than 'tourist destination' (unless you're here for Equality Green, more below). It's a green space with a bit of walking trail and fitness amenities. 🎾🏀 Multiple tennis courts as well as basketball courts, easily spotted with their blue paving. 🏋️ Multiple adult fitness exercise areas, all on the west side by the courts. 🏊‍♀️ Public swimming pool, too. Paid entry. 🍭 Mediocre kids playground. One slide and a few swings. And then a second are with a few bits and pieces (and an elephant), close to the pool. Again, will do the job for a stop and rest, not a destination. 🌈 Home of Equality Green (has it's own Maps listing), commemorating the marriage equality decision. Gorgeous rainbow painted footpath, which is a highlight! 🚻 Next to the pool facilities. 💦 Bubblers next to Cleveland St and the entrance next to Central station. Likely a couple more I didn't spot.

Prince Alfred Park is mostly a big and open green space. It's situated right behind Sydney's Central Station and shares borders with Surry Hills. Ball players and sun worshippers come to the big meadow to play or soak the sun. For those more inclined to hide from Sydney's scorching sun, there are big trees providing shade.

One thing I liked the most about Australia is the presence of multiple parks and open spaces. Prince Alfred Park, despite being inside the City Central, is a clean park with wide spaces of trees and areas for recreational activities. This park is a good place to chill while you are waiting for your friends in the city. Aside from that, this park is so massive that it surprised me that Sydney did not convert parts of it for commercial space. This is truly a good place to chill.

This is one of those inner-city parks where you can pretty much expect to find what you would normally find in an inner-city park. Okay, I'm probably being a little too vague here because I could be referring to anything from a couple of square meters to the something the size of central park. Well, this place is neither, but it is a reasonable size, and also have some decent facilities, including an indoor swimming pool and a skate ramp. Yeah, it was okay.
