Redfern Park
Plan your trip
Redfern Park and Oval is on Gadigal land. In the 1880s, the land was set aside for a park, and in 1885, Redfern Park was officially proclaimed as part of the beautification of this part of Redfern by the then Redfern Municipal Council. It took about 5 years to fully build the park, which is a Victorian style park design with a central focal point and radiating pathways with signature tree plantings, as well as a sporting oval at the southern end.
