Spring in the Park

Playtime for people of all ages in the newly renovated Prince Alfred Park. Grab your tennis racquet, bike and/or togs. Let's get physical.

Overview

Whether you cycle like Cadel, deliver a backhand like Federer, swim like Thorpie or can't do any of the above and wish you could, there's an abundance of reasons to drop by Prince Alfred Park this Saturday.

Having just received its first facelift in 50 years (to the tune of $9 million) Prince Alfred Park is now home to Sydney's first fully accessible, heated outdoor pool, five international standard tennis courts, two basketball courts, a 1km exercise circuit, two children's playgrounds, barbecues, picnic areas, an underground stormwater recycling system and hundreds of new plants.

What's more, spring is here. So, the City of Sydney is inviting the community to celebrate this Saturday. There'll be free bicycle tune-ups, Try2Wheels, learn-to-swim classes, synchronised swimming shows, free food, live music and roving entertainers. When the council's action finishes up at 1pm, Eastside Radio's Global Rhythms Music Festival will keep the party going.
