Liberty Grove at Sydney Olympic Park

The Sydney Olympic Park is quite big and it can get confusing. However, if you want to walk, jog, run, scoot or cycle, with the option of dropping by a good shopping centre, Liberty Grove is the place you're after. That is, if the
Rhodes Foreshore gets too boring for you because it is well-paved, flat and has a scenic water view.

To access Liberty Grove, one option is to come from Bicentennial Park. However, if you want to go shopping after your walk, jog, run, scoot or cycle, it is best to find available street parking right across the shopping centre in Rhodes. Leaving your car at the Rhodes Waterfront Shopping Centre carpark might not be a good idea because free parking is only for three hours. (Feel free to pay for parking, however, if it is your option). There is limited parking right at the entrance to Liberty Grove near the intersection of Oulton Avenue and Rider Boulevard, but be warned it can only accommodate around 8 cars.
The mixed-use circuit can get crowded with joggers, runners, cyclists, and families just having a stroll with their kids in strollers or scooters. Running parallel to Homebush Bay Drive but sheltered by trees, there is a lot of green on the other side bounded by trees and mangroves.
During winter, it is probably a good idea to come when the sun is high up to compensate for the chilly temperature, but towards sunset, views can be awesome. You just need to pause and appreciate it, the sight can be breath-taking.
From the Rhodes entrance to Liberty Grove, branching off to the Parklands Circuit towards Bicentennial Drive is a stretch of 1.5 kilometres one way. Catching the sunset at Liberty Grove on the way back is a bonus.
