Grasslands and Woodlands

Centennial Park features a number of grassland and woodland areas to discover.

Kensington Ponds - This grassland area located in the south western corner of Centennial Park provides a natural and native grassland setting against a backdrop of water.

Sandstone Ridge - This natural sandstone ridge with rocky outcrops is surrounded by semi-wild vegetation and creates a sense of wilderness close to the heart of the city. This secluded area provides film makers with the opportunity to set a scene that could be anywhere in Australia.

Lachlan Reserve - This wetland area features a forest of Paperbarks and She-oaks ideal for a 'Deep South' look.

Pine Forest - This area provides a setting which could be any pine forest in Europe or North America. Great for winter fashion shoots.

Paperbark Grove - A wonderful avenue of paperbark trees also offers a shaded barbecue location with adjacent grassy areas.
