Sydney Olympic Park, (http://www.sydneyolympicp...), is an area 15km west from Sydney City. It is on western reaches of Sydney Harbour, and was the home of the 2000 Olympics. It is in the Sydney suburb of Homebush Bay.
The Sydney Olympic Park area, together with the surrounding areas on the Parramatta River including the neighbouring suburb of Newington, provides numerous venues for athletic events: aquatic, archery, tennis, golf, hockey and more. It is also home of open spaces and parks such as Bicentennial Park, Wentworth Common, Blaxland Riverside Park, Woo-La-Ra and Wilson Park. When there are no events on, the area around the station and the main venues can become very quiet. At 6PM most evenings you can have Olympic Boulevard largely to yourself.
Access to the area, and to the parklands is free.
