Centennial Park in the heart of Sydney's east is an oasis for mothers and children, with craft classes for small bubs held weekly, and activities aplenty during the school holidays to amuse your brood. There are also docile Shetland Ponies every weekend to take your child a-riding... a great way to teach them the joys of animals, and afford the experience of a loftier perch than normal, not to mention a great ride one of the city's most beautifully kept gardens.
