Waverley Park

Crn Bondi Road, Park Parade, Birrell St, Bondi

Waverley Park is the major sport and recreation park in Waverley and popular commuter route for cyclists and pedestrians. Designated as Waverley’s first park in 1880, it holds a special place in Waverley’s cultural heritage.

Completed in late 2023, its playground celebrates the park’s history, with a rocket ship and launch tower centrepiece that pays tribute to the original 1960s space.
