Gateways

Sandstone Gates

All eight sets of entrance gates into Centennial Park were built between 1887 and 1900.

With their massive carved stone pillars and ornate design, the Paddington Gates are the most imposing. These gates were built for the park’s official dedication in 1888.

A plaque on the street-side of the gates celebrates this event. Work on the cast-iron fence surrounding the Park also commenced in 1888.

Moore Park was opened in 1869 - soon becoming Sydney’s most popular sporting and entertainment precinct. A tall, ornate, sandstone gateway now on the corner of Anzac Parade and Moore Park Road was erected to mark the Park’s opening.
