Originally a swamp and then set aside as land for the water source for Sydney, Centennial Park was reconstructed as a public park and opened in 1888. Sir Henry Parkes' vision was to create a 'People's Park' in which the citizens of Sydney could 'take in the air' away from the Sydney town centre.
While the first set of Parklands' regulations in 1889 included: 'No person shall walk on the grass…' and 'No person shall engage in any game, or train for any race…' the Parklands have come a long way to becoming one of the most popularly visited and vibrant green spaces in Australia.

The original swamp land is now towered over by tall buildings and is homer to an array of wild life.
