Observatory Hill Park

Overview

Observatory Hill Park is quite the picturesque location for a picnic and a workout with its outdoor equipment and sweeping views of the harbour. Though the three fitness stations offer basic equipment and routines, the much-loved exercise spot gets packed on either side of 9–5. To get the view (and the equipment) to yourself, late afternoon is your best bet. To get the view with that beautiful 'golden hour' light, set up your picnic blanket atop the hill with some nibbles and enjoy the views of the water, the bridge, Luna Park across the way and the headlands out towards the sea.
