Sydney's urban beach lifestyle
Sydney is a city in love with water activities. As well as Sydney Harbour being one of the world’s finest, Sydney has some of the most well-known beaches, such as the surfer’s heaven, Bondi Beach.
Outdoor fitness around Sydney
Blessed with year round good weather Sydney caters well to locals and visitors who enjoy exercising outside with a collection of waterfront swimming pools, gyms, fitness parks, yoga studios and bike tours sprinkled around the city. Wherever you stay you're never too far away from a track, park or pool.
Sydney Olympic Park, home of the 2000 Olympic Games, continues to serve as a major sporting and social venue. Bicentennial Park, part of this extensive site, is crisscrossed by numerous walking and bicycle tracks.
Many of the beaches on Sydney's coast have seaside saltwater pools. Join the year-round die-hards for their early morning wake up swim. Wylies Baths, the historic netted sea pool at the southern end of Coogee Beach, also provides early-morning yoga classes and massages by the poolside. Bondi Icebergs Club on Bondi Beach is famous for its all-weather swimming club and indoor gym.
On the harbourside there's a number of Olympic-size swimming pools for lap swimming or to take the kids on a hot day. There are also aquatic centres at the Andrew Boy Charlton pool in the Botanic Gardens, North Sydney and Leichhardt which have Olympic size pools, kids wading pools and good change facilities.
Mornings and evenings come alive with walkers and joggers and groups participating in boot camp activities. Pyrmont Point Park boardwalk, Bondi and the Royal Botanic Gardens are favourite spots with paths and good views.
