Western Sydney Attractions - Sydney Olympic Park

Sydney Olympic Park

Western Sydney is home to many attractions, among them is the Sydney Olympic Park, home of the Olympic Games of 2000. Originally part of the suburb of Auburn, Sydney Olympic Park gained recognition as its own suburb in 2009. It is, to this day, still used as a venue for major sports such as Rugby Union, National Rugby League (NRL) and Australian Football League (AFL). 

Though it is still home to many sporting facilities, the Park is now also used as a venue for music festivals such as Stereosonic, Big Day Out and Soundwave, or for other popular events such as Pop Culture Expos, the Sydney Festival and most notably, The Sydney Royal Easter Show.

Allphones Arena is also a major attraction of the Park as it is used for numerous concerts and as a venue for many major artists such as Katy Perry, Maroon 5, 5 Seconds of Summer, Drake and soon to be the first venue of the popular South Korean band Big Bang's first Australian concert. Allphones Arena has also been noted as one of the most profitable venues, behind New York's Madison Square Garden. The Sydney Olympic Park is now home to more than 5000 events each year and is definitely one of the many attractions to visit when visiting Western Sydney.
