Changed parking conditions in the parklands

Sydney Olympic Park is changing the parking conditions for parkland areas to improve the experience for visitors and to support the ongoing management of the parklands. 

From February 2025, there will be new parking conditions in Bicentennial Park, Blaxland Riverside Park and Parklands Junction P5b (URBNSURF) and P5c (Pump Track and BMX Track).

You must register your vehicle plate number to receive the first 2 hours of parking for free, then a parking fee will apply:

  • $3 per hour fee on weekdays, and
  • $5 per hour fee on weekends.

Please visit mySOP Engage for more information.
