Lily Pond

Centennial Parklands in Sydney is a popular destination known for its natural beauty.

One of the main attractions within the park is Lily Pond, which is fed by an underground spring in Lachlan Swamp. This pond is home to unique flora and fauna, making it a favorite spot for visitors.

Lily Pond offers a serene environment where visitors can relax and enjoy nature. The graceful black swans gliding on the water, the picturesque white bridge, and the paperbark trees create a stunning scene. The edges of the pond are lined with papyrus, which provides habitat for various bird species, including the Clamorous Reed Warbler. The area is highly photogenic, with masses of lilies covering the pond and the enchanting view of the surrounding paperbark trees. It's a popular spot for taking selfies or capturing beautiful wedding photos.

The Lily Pond area is beautiful throughout the year, but it is particularly stunning in autumn and spring when the softer afternoon sun enhances the glow of the lilies and trees. Visitors can explore this area at any time and enjoy its wonders.

Getting to Lily Pond is easy as it is located within Centennial Parklands. Visitors can use public transport, drive, bike, or walk to the park. Public transport options include taking a train or bus to Bondi Junction or Central Station and then transferring to a bus that goes to the park. There are also on-site parking lots available for a small fee, or visitors can park for free on the streets surrounding the Parklands.
