In-Depth Information
Parklands (a huge green swath that cuts from Surry Hills to Bondi) Moore Park covers
115 hectares south of Paddington. With sports fields, tennis courts, an 18-hole public golf
course and a site for visiting circuses, there's plenty here to keep you off the streets.
The broader precinct also includes the homes of the Sydney Swans Aussie rules team,
the Sydney City Roosters rugby league team and the Sydney Mardi Gras party - the his-
tainment Quarter spices up the mix.
ENTERTAINMENT QUARTER
we were feeling cynical, we might say that the purpose-built Entertainment Quarter is a
vacuous, self-perpetuating specimen of lightweight global commercialism, but we'll try to
restrain ourselves. Instead, we'll just say that its palm-lined avenues, cinemas, ice rink and
weekend markets are a good distraction for the kids. Fox Studios (where
The Matrix
and
two
Star Wars
prequels were filmed) is next door.
