Flight Path History at Sydenham Green
Sydenham Green has a history tied to Sydney Airport. The park was created when noise-affected homes under the airport's flight path were converted into recreational land, and planes still pass low overhead. Oversized 'living room' sculptures in the park pay tribute to the houses that once stood on the site. The green now spreads across both sides of Railway Road, with play, sport and dog areas where the homes used to be.
