Tourist attractions in Sydney include Wentworth Park, a narrow band of green area near the city centre, with duck ponds, walking paths, a bandshell and picnic areas. Also, the boardwalk along Sydney Harbour is usually bustling with activity as locals and visitors alike enjoy Sydney's waterfront.
A recent addition is a beautiful nature trail. The trail has two entrances: one on Cottage Rd. and one behind Sherwood Park Education Center. It is ideal for walking, jogging, dog-walking, bird-watching, and more.
The Kinsmen Club of Sydney in conjunction with the Sydney Airport Authority presents the annual AIRSHOW in August at the Sydney Airport.
Sydney celebrates its heritage every summer with a colourful festival of music, sports and special events during Action Week, the first week in August starting on Friday night... 'the only week with 9 days of fun'
For the golfer, there are two local courses, Lingan and Seaview as well as 2 world class golf courses within a one to two hours drive, Bell Bay in Baddeck and Highlands Links in Ingonish.
Centre 200 is a sports and culture complex which hosts events throughout the year. And of course there are many private venues such as restaurants, pubs and lounges that host live entertainment as well.
A good time can be had in Sydney by every age group. Below are listed some activities and sources of entertainment for the whole family including a wildlife park for the kids:
