Centennial Park, Column Garden

The Column Garden at Centennial Park, a large area of parkland in the eastern suburbs of Sydney. This area was once a huge catchment of creeks, swamps, springs, sand dunes and ponds fed by ground water. Centennial Park was dedicated as a public open space for the enjoyment of the people of New South Wales by Sir Henry Parkes in 1888 and named to celebrate the centenary of European settlement of Australia.
