    Hyde Park is nice and peaceful when I want to work in quiet, but also has cool events that don't disturb the rest of the park. I just wish there were more WiFi hotspots, and fewer ibises.

    Fall in love with Hyde Park north's central avenue with the canopy forming from grand fig trees. Love walking through this section of Australia's oldest park

    This is a safe place, night and day. I've never had trouble walking through. It's also stunning all year round. Take a book, or simply lay back and enjoy the sun.

    Lovely place. You could lay down on the grass, dream, read, relax or even play chess.

    Grass is greenest opposite the Australian Museum. Also, the quietest and best spot for a nap in the park.

    Beautiful park, especially by night where you can see the possums and stunning war memorial. Very calming and serene place to be.

    If ur a tourist and in desperate need of wifi like i do. Sit close to Australian Museum to use their wifi, which is free. U dont actually have to go inside to get the signal

    Great city-centre park. Lovely war memorial (which needs a bit of brushing up inside).

    Go to Hyde Park on the weekends. Enjoy the scenery and fresh air. The only place for relaxing mind, body and soul in the city. Do not go when in summer, can be very hot.

    At night be careful of the possums - they bite! During the day - enjoy a sunny lunch away from the office :)

    Not particularly safe at night especially on weekends if you're at the wrong place at the wrong time. Oh if you only knew the stuff that went on in this park, haha seriously.
