Moore Park
Allianz Stadium, Moore Park
From watching a major sporting match and browsing farmers' markets to going horse riding, playing golf and enjoying a range of fun indoors activities, Moore Park has it all. This entertainment, dining and leisure hub spans 115 hectares and includes the serene Centennial Parklands, all only a stone’s throw from the city centre.
The Entertainment Quarter precinct is home to Fox Studios and a myriad of things to do, including restaurants, bars, theatres and many adventure activities. Check out the bowling lanes, laser tag and karaoke at Strike Bowling. Tackle the 401-metre indoor go-karting track perched on top of the EQ's car park at Hyper Karting. Get snow-ready at Off-Piste Ski & Snowboard, an indoor ski and snowboard simulator. Embrace your inner child at the neon-lit B. Lucky & Sons, home to a long list of classic arcade games. Or improve your golfing game at Howe 2 Golf, where you can enjoy a beer and nibble after tackling a training course. Rather try the real thing? Head to the fairways at Moore Park Golf Course.
Next to Moore Park are the pretty Centennial Parklands, with its greenery, ponds and gardens. Admire the colourful native flora and fauna on a picnic in the manicured grounds; let little ones run, jump and play at the fantastic Ian Potter Children's Wild Play Garden; discover the scenic trails on horseback with Centennial Parklands Equestrian Centre; or hire a bike from Centennial Park Cycles to explore on two wheels.
Next to the Entertainment Quarter, The Hordern Pavilion – simply known as The Hordern to locals – has hosted everything from up-and-coming bands and music festivals to fashion runway shows and the epic Mardi Gras Party. Renovated in 2022, Allianz Stadium (also known as Sydney Football Stadium) is a state-of-the-art sports and entertainment precinct. As well as being the home of Sydney sporting teams Sydney FC (A League), Sydney Roosters (NRL) and NSW Waratahs (rugby union), it has hosted epic concerts with headliners such as SIA, Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran and Barbara Streisand.
The world-famous Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) is the place to visit for sports fanatics. It hosts local and international cricket matches, including Test, One Day and Big Bash cricket in the warmer months; rugby league, soccer and Aussie Rules Football in the cooler months; and music acts all year-round. The behind-the-scenes SCG Tour Experience is a 90-minute guided walking tour of the historic sports ground, dressing rooms and SCG Museum, which houses cricket legends Don Bradman’s baggy green cap and Ricky Ponting's 2007 bat. In the Rugby League Museum, find priceless memorabilia and tributes to great players.
