Moore Park is a large urban parkland in the inner eastern suburbs of Sydney, New South Wales, situated immediately southeast of the central business district. It functions as a mixed-use green space that includes major sporting venues alongside recreational areas.

Within the park precinct are prominent stadiums and event facilities that host professional sport and large public events, together with paths, picnic areas and recreational lawns for everyday use. The park is often used for organised sports, community events and informal leisure.

Moore Park was established in the 19th century as part of Sydney’s parklands and has since been developed to accommodate both large-scale sporting infrastructure and public open space. Its role has evolved with the construction and renovation of stadiums and supporting facilities.

The park lies within the City of Sydney local area, directly adjacent to the suburbs of Paddington and Centennial Park, and is a short distance from the Sydney CBD.

• Location and access: Sits immediately southeast of Sydney’s central business district and is served by multiple bus routes and a light rail connection, making it easy to reach from the city centre.
• Purpose: Contains major sports and entertainment venues and combined parkland used for recreation, making it one of Sydney’s principal inner-city green spaces.

What to See#

• Sydney Cricket Ground: A long-established major sporting venue located within Moore Park that hosts cricket, Australian rules football and other large events.
• Sydney Football Stadium: A multiuse stadium located in the park precinct used for rugby, soccer and concerts and part of the park’s major sports infrastructure.

Moore Park is a short bus or light-rail ride from Sydney CBD (Light Rail to Moore Park/Prince Alfred stops). Several city bus routes run along Anzac Parade and Fitzroy Street. Driving and paid parking are available but event days can make access difficult.

• If arriving by light rail or bus, get off near Moore Park Road for the most direct access to the park's eastern entrances.
• For good people-watching and refreshments, head to Centennial Park adjacent to the sporting precinct rather than the quieter northern lawn areas.
• Check local event listings - the park hosts rotating festivals and concerts that can be delightful or very busy depending on timing.
