Looking for something fun to do over the weekend? Whether you’re an experienced rollerblader or looking to pick up a new skill, Centennial Park is the perfect place for rollerblading in Sydney! 🛼

Centennial Park's Grand Drive has a 3.6-kilometre cycling lane with a low gradient that is ideal for rollerbladers.

Don’t forget to wear a helmet and safety gear, follow Parkland's rules, and share paths safely with others.

Please note that rollerbladers are not permitted on the Grand Drive footpath and must use the designated cycle lane.

This week we celebrated International Day of Play!

Protect play, protect childhood!

Here are 5 ways to honour nature play across Greater Sydney Parklands:

1. Make time - protect everyday unstructured play. Let kids be kids, every day.
2. Playful places - choose spaces that invite climbing, balancing, hiding, creating, discovering and imagining.
3. Nature first - let green spaces lead the play. Loose parts, natural textures, and sensory-rich moments do the work.
4. Include teens - play doesn’t stop at childhood. Young people (12-18) need time and space to move, create, connect and unwind.
5. Share stewardship - look after the parks that look after us. Volunteer, pick up litter, and learn from the plants and wildlife around you.

What’s your favourite way to play in the parklands? 🌿

Celebrate play with us this week - find a nearby green space, bring someone along, and get outdoors.

Tucked inside Centennial Parklands is Lachlan Swamp, a natural spring that’s been supporting wildlife in Sydney for thousands of years.

Rainwater filters through the sandy soil and sandstone beneath the Botany Sands, creating a rare wetland habitat right in the middle of the city. It’s why this pocket of the park is home to more wildlife than you might expect, including:

🌙 Tawny frogmouths aren’t owls at all: they rely on near-perfect camouflage, freezing in place to look exactly like a tree branch.

🪶 Kookaburras use their loud “laugh” to mark territory and communicate with family groups living around the swamp.

🦜 Sulphur-crested cockatoos are highly intelligent and social, often seen observing tree hollows or foraging on the ground.

🐾 Brushtail possums nest in tree hollows and become active at night, quietly moving through the canopy.

🦇 Grey-headed flying foxes roost in large colonies nearby and play a vital role in pollinating and spreading seeds across the park.

🦉 Powerful owls are apex night predators and rely on healthy bushland habitat like this to survive.
