Bicentennial Park

Bicentennial Park is a very large and spacious park with lots of green areas to enjoy. It’s a great place for walking, relaxing, or spending time with family and friends. There are also barbecue areas available, which makes it very convenient for a day out. In general, the park is wheelchair accessible, very clean, and there is plenty of parking, which is a big plus. Overall, a very pleasant park to visit and easy to recommend.

Paid parking now has ruined this place. As you can see by the first photo. It’s me standing barefoot giving a swing to my elder brother and the year is 2000. That particular play equipment has been replaced with the sand pit and pyramid climbing structure. Even that was one of the best swings and what did they do?…got rid of it 🤦🏻‍♂️ I went here yesterday 02/05/2026 and arrived around 1:30pm and whilst driving up to the area I wanted to park noticed a lot of free spots along the way. I was confused at first but once I noticed the signage and the new fees I realised why. A once bustling park especially on the weekends felt absolutely dead. What a failure. Bathrooms near the café are extremely small for the size of the park and haven’t been upgraded since that building was erected and they’re slugging families now with extra costs. A place where you could bring your family and not worry about parking fees is no longer. They would have spent a crap load of money just to install all these electronic parking meters and signage around the park and it’s all for the non-genuine reason of ‘management’. Coming from Blacktown area you pretty much have to take the toll road which in total costs $13.50 and now on top of that you’ll have to pay another $15 to stay for a total of 5 hours at the park which is the average time a family would stay. Now as a group when you have multiple vehicles this cost adds up very quickly. Those from council who voted for this should be voted out.

I visited this park earlier this week and had such a wonderful experience. The surroundings are clean, green, and very well maintained. The walking paths are smooth and easy to follow, with plenty of shaded areas to sit and relax. What I loved most was the peaceful atmosphere – it feels like a perfect escape from the busy city life. The fresh air, the sounds of birds, and the open space made it really calming. The park also has well-kept playgrounds and picnic areas, which makes it family-friendly. Overall, it’s a beautiful spot for walking, exercising, or just spending quiet time outdoors. I’ll definitely be visiting again soon and would recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing natural space.

Great park with plenty to see and do. Perfect spot to spend a few hours and let the kids explore. The cafe isn’t amazing for coffee but fine for a quick pick-me-up, and parking’s generally easy to find. There’s a nice mix of open space and shady spots, and the walking paths are well kept. Plenty of areas for picnics or just sitting back to take it all in. Even when it’s busy, it still feels relaxed and welcoming. A solid place to unwind for a while.
