Daily 8am-6pm, until 8pm during Daylight Saving. Buses #378, #380, #382. South of Oxford Street from Paddington and Woollahra lies the green expanse of Centennial Park , with Bondi Junction to the east and Randwick to the south. Opened to the citizens of Sydney at the Centennial Festival in 1888 (the bicentennial version was opened at Homebush in 1988), the park, with its vast lawns, rose gardens and extensive network of ponds, resembles an English country park, but is reclaimed at dawn and dusk by distinctly antipodean residents, including possums and flying foxes. The park is crisscrossed by walking paths and tracks for cycling, roller-blading, jogging and horse-riding: you can rent a bike or rollerblades or hire a horse and then recover from your exertions in the cafe. In the finer months outdoor films are shown in the evenings at the Moonlight Cinema .
