Tumbalong Park is an urban public park on the western edge of the Sydney central business district in the Darling Harbour precinct. It serves as a waterfront green space within a dense leisure and events area of the city.

The park offers broad lawns, playgrounds and landscaped paths suited to picnics and informal recreation. It includes outdoor water-play features and paved performance or event spaces that are frequently used for festivals and city events.

The park was created as part of the late 20th century redevelopment of the Darling Harbour waterfront into a public and entertainment precinct. Since then it has functioned as a municipal park and event site serving residents and tourists.

The park sits at Darling Harbour adjacent to Cockle Bay and the Pyrmont Bridge, within easy walking distance of surrounding attractions in Sydney’s CBD and waterfront entertainment district.

• Setting: Located in the Darling Harbour precinct of central Sydney, adjacent to Cockle Bay and within the city’s waterfront leisure area.
