Hickson Road Reserve

Love this spot. Can’t believe how many Sydneysiders don’t know where I’m talking about!
Sat on the hill here to see in the New Year, was back on Australia Day to watch the Ferrython, and more recently made a couple of visits to see the Chinese Warrior Lanterns as part of the celebrations for Chinese New Year.
When there’s a special event you’ll usually find an ice cream van down there, and some trendy food trucks.
Even if you haven’t got a specific reason to be there, it is definitely worth the stroll to be under the coat hanger, look across to the SOH, and the Luna Park iconic entrance.
