Transforming Sydney Olympic Park for the Easter Show showcases the Park's core strength: its planned flexibility to transition from vibrant local spaces that support healthy, active lifestyles to hosting world-class major events that attract visitors from all over.
Cathy Freeman Park is testament to how urban spaces can be temporarily reimagined for major events, transforming from an important community asset that is loved by locals to a vibrant showcase of NSW agriculture.
Witness the incredible evolution of Cathy Freeman Park, as we prepare for the iconic 27th Sydney Royal Easter Show at Sydney Olympic Park. This time-lapse video captures the magic of "Jamison Station" coming to life – a 2.5-acre working farm experience right in the city!
This morning, Minister for Planning and Public Spaces, The Hon. Paul Scully joined Sydney Olympic Park Authority CEO, Neisha D’Souza, Royal Agricultural Society CEO, Brock Gilmore and President, John Bennett with Sydney Showground General Manager, Darryl Jeffrey for a ‘round the grounds’ tour. They even bumped into the Governor of NSW Her Excellency the Honourable Margaret Beazley AC QC who was also visiting the Show.
The NSW Government is committed to maximising the use of our public spaces, and the Sydney Royal Easter Show, one of the largest events in the Southern Hemisphere, is a perfect example. We're proud to support one of Sydney’s most loved events that brings communities together and showcases the best of regional NSW.
A huge thank you to the Royal Agricultural Society of NSW, Sydney Showground, the Sydney Olympic Park Authority team and the other agencies involved in making this incredible event happen!
