Parks, Recreation, and Greenspace in Sydney, New South Wales

Sydney is busy, great public transport, accessible via international flights. Great libraries, museums, art galleries, botanical gardens, opera house, all good.

Sydney is a wonderful city. It is surrounded by picturesque places and filled with affable people. The captivating Sydney harbour engulfing the city is picture-perfect. The magnificent beaches with sparkling sand, towering headlands, and heavenly coastlines will leave you spellbound. Iconic landmarks like Sydney Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge, Darling Harbour, and Royal Botanic Gardens never fail to charm you. No wonder it regularly features among the most beautiful cities in the world.

Sydney’s public transport system is hectically congested when getting to and from work during peak hours from 7-9am and 3-6pm on the weekdays. Try to avoid travelling via public transport with heavy luggage during those hours. On the bright side the best place for a picnic is in the Botanic gardens in Circular Quay – accessible via bus, ferry and train.

Sydney holds many amazing opportunities for outdoor activities and living. Depending on the area of Sydney in which one chooses to live, these opportunities might include swimming and surfing at picturesque beaches, bushwalking in the unique Australian bush, and plenty of team sports. If moving to Sydney, however, one must be aware of the relatively high cost of living; house prices, and the costs of goods and services, are significantly higher than many other countries, especially countries in the surrounding Asia Pacific region.
