With extensive pathways meandering through the Parklands of Sydney Olympic Park, there are many journeys to take.
These pathways run alongside a range of different habitat types, providing an opportunity to observe a variety of wildlife that call the Park home.
For example, take the pathway through Kronos Hill from east to west to experience the surrounding freshwater wetlands, estuarine wetlands, dense shrubbery, and grassland.
From right to left, east to west: Eastern Pond, Little Kronos Hill, Kronos Hill, Northern Water Feature.
Eastern Pond
This large wetland exists on the eastern-most part of the Kronos Hill precinct, adjacent to Wentworth Common and Marjorie Jackson Parkway.
Eastern Pond serves as a frog habitat for the endangered Green and Golden Bell Frogs. This wetland hosts not only this endangered species but also an abundance of other frog species and waterbirds. Look for basking turtles, count the number of ducks and swans feeding in the pond and spot the Australian Reed Warbler bouncing between stands of fringing macrophytes!

Little Kronos Hill
Taking the pathway that wraps around Eastern Pond and meandering alongside the mangroves of Haslams Creek brings you to Little Kronos Hill.
The slopes of Little Kronos Hill are composed of scattered eucalypt trees with an understory of dense native shrubs planted to provide habitat for woodland birds declining across the region. Frog ponds can be seen scattered around the base and at the summit of the hill, connected by grassy corridors planted to provide foraging ground and dispersal corridors for the endangered Green and Golden Bell Frog.
Listen for frogs and the rustling of lizards and spot the Spotted Pardalote feeding high up in the tree canopy!

Kronos Hill
Continuing to the underpass of Holker Busway and turning left to find the rising zig-zag path will take you up and across the centre of Kronos Hill.&
Kronos Hill provides a string of frog ponds connected by grassy corridors for the endangered Green and Golden Bell Frog. These ponds are stepping stones between the larger wetlands of Eastern Pond and the Northern Water Feature. Regeneration works have seen the introduction of dense shrubbery and groundcovers here as well, providing habitat for woodland birds.
Listen to the variety of birds calling across the hilltop and spot the Musk Lorikeets feeding high up in the scattered mature trees!

Northern Water Feature
After descending from the pathway on Kronos Hill, a large wetland appears. This wetland is the Northern Water Feature, capturing runoff from the northern section of Sydney Olympic Park Town Centre.
Like Eastern Pond, this wetland serves as a habitat for the endangered Green and Golden Bell Frog and hosts an abundance of waterbirds, while woodland birds make use of dense shrubbery planted in terrestrial areas. Head to the top of the adjacent pyramid for elevated views.
Observe the variety of waterbirds feeding in the wetland and count the number of Welcome Swallows feeding on the wing!
