Your Life, Reimagined
Luna Park
Luna Park exists where it does, right on the waterfront of Sydney Harbour, at the foot of the Harbour Bridge.
The giant face which forms the entrance has been grinning its horrific, fun but creepy, smile at Sydney-siders for decades. Built in 1935, the fun park has retained a retro feel which makes it nice to stroll through.
HISTORY
Luna Park Sydney is a heritage-listed amusement park located at 1 Olympic Drive, Milsons Point, New South Wales, Australia, on the northern shore of Sydney Harbour. The amusement park is owned by the Luna Park Reserve Trust, an agency of the Government of New South Wales. It is one of Sydney's most famous landmarks and has had a significant impact on culture through the years, including being featured as a filming location for several movies and television shows.
It is protected by government legislation, namely the Luna Park Site Act 1990 which specifically protects the site and sets it aside for the purpose of an amusement park. Several of the buildings on the site are also listed on the (now defunct) Register of the National Estate and the New South Wales State Heritage Register.
