Sydney, Australia
A large park (40 hectares) at the very southern end of Newtown's King Street, it was a former brick pit that was filled with the city's rubbish in the 1970's and 1980's before being topped with soil and landscaped. The 3 former trash hills make excellent viewing locations, where you have views from
the airport to the city. Rolling hills, native plantings, engineered wetlands and the historic remains of the brick works make this park an inner Sydney landmark. Almost the entire park is an off-leash area for dogs, making it a destination for pet-owners while the open fields and steep grassy hills make it a favoured destination for determined exercisers.
