Lovely grounds with lakes, shady trees and walk/bicycle/equestrian pathways. Cafe on the grounds. Wheelchair friendly.
Feeding the ducks in the duck pond here was great fun (if you want to do it yourself the park staff recommend rolled oats) and we even saw bats hanging in the trees! The wolf play park was also a big hit. The downside? On the walk through the park we had to dodge so much dog poop and bagged-then-discarded poop it was unreal. Who leaves poop all around a park where kids play?
Very relaxing place. Such a peaceful environment that one can be with self in no time. Loved the place!
It is a huge park, but the bird and fish feeding was the highlight.
Cyclist wizz around. There's a couple of coffee places. The lake view is serene.

Peaceful and spacious park for everyone - from cyclists and runners who can easily do 5km loops around the park, to kids and families who want to have picnics, to anyone of any age who simply enjoys going for a walk.
If you're feeling more adventurous, there's lots to explore away from the circular track around the park - from a rose garden to labyrinth course to flying fox bat viewing areas.
Plenty of free bathrooms and water stations available at the park, with 3 main coffee shops if you want to grab a quick beverage or bite. For something fancier, Homestead is your best bet.
There's also plenty of 3P parking available in the park itself though if you're new to the park, I'd stick to the Randwick or Oxford Street gate to enter if you're a car as some of the other gates are blocked off at certain times of the day.

We had a family day out in Centennial Park & it is a wonderful place. Our Aussie grandson loves this place, especially Lockie Swamp with all the Bats. I enjoyed a fast 3-mile walk around the park before meeting up with our family for a tasty lunch at the excellent Homestead Cafe.
Great park to visit and soak up the Spring sunshine on a Sunday. Lots of parking, some good walks or just sit and watch the ponds with ducks and fish.
