Brickpit Ring Walk

Have you met our special resident, the Green and Golden Bell Frog?

Towering 18m above ground and floating above a peaceful freshwater wetland setting the award-winning Brickpit Ring Walk is an architectural marvel and fascinating feature of Sydney Olympic Park.

The Brickpit, which in a past life, supplied nearly 60% of the bricks used to build Sydney’s homes, has been transformed into a peaceful and pivotal freshwater wetland habitat. It stands as one of Sydney’s most famous homes to the endangered Green and Golden Bell Frog, not to mention 135 bird species.

Built in 2005, the Brickpit Ring Walk provides the ideal birds-eye viewing platform to the wetland below, where you might hope to catch a flash of green as an amphibious inhabitant hops by. A central attraction of the Park, it invites visitors to mindfully meander along its 550-metre circular pathway, pausing to listen out for the distinctive croaks and verses of birdsong floating on the wind. 

As you stroll around the ring, you’ll discover an inbuilt multimedia experience, transporting you back in time as the voices of pit workers recount their experiences crafting three billion bricks. Continue to amble and you’ll learn more about the frogs in the wetland below, gaining an appreciation for the immense biodiversity of this special part of Sydney.
