There are some places of which it is impossible to take a bad photo. No matter where you stand or which angle you come from, it seems that the shots come out perfectly ever time. Milson Park, Kirribilli, is one of those places. Turn one way and you will see the waterfront of the
Sydney Flying Squadron Sailing Club. Turn another and you will see
McDougall Street, one of Kirribilli's perfectly designed, tree-lined avenues. Stand anywhere in the park and you will be faced with manicured grass, shady trees and Hyde Park style lamp posts. The park is idyllic and provides the perfect centrepiece for one of Sydney's most picturesque suburbs.
Beauty and serenity are not all the park has to offer. Spending a day there reveals its flexibility and the various activities which it can accomodate. Early morning invariably sees the die-hard fitness fans starting the day with a workout. Dog walkers usually arrive soon afterwards. There are few better parks for picnicking in Sydney as the park provides ample seating and tables as well as plenty of open space for running around or playing games. The park is also beautiful in the early evening as the waterfront continues to sparkle and the lamp posts light up.
Sometimes weekends are best spent at one's leisure. Milson Park provides a place where weekenders can relax, take things as they come and enjoy the beauty of a perfectly sculpted park. It's also only a short walk to great places to eat, with the Sailing Club and the
Ensemble Theatre right nearby. Milson Park makes for an ideal weekend outing and is perfect for anyone looking for a day out with a touch of elegance.
