Marks Park

Marks Park is a coastal public park on the cliff-top at Tamarama in the Waverley local government area of Sydney, New South Wales. Located between Bondi Beach and Tamarama Beach, it overlooks Mackenzies Bay and Mackenzies Point. The park is notable for its panoramic ocean views, grassed headland, and position on the Bondi to Coogee Coastal Walk, and as a primary venue for the annual Sculpture by the Sea exhibition.

Visitors can expect an open, grassed cliff-top park with paved pathways, seating and expansive views over the Pacific Ocean, Bondi Beach, Mackenzies Bay and Tamarama Beach. The park is traversed by the Bondi to Coogee Coastal Walk and features the rocky headland of Mackenzies Point. It is largely open and exposed with limited shade, offering areas for picnicking, sightseeing, photography and whale watching in season. Sculptures are displayed throughout the park during exhibition periods.

The park lies on land traditionally associated with the Bidjigal and Birrabirragal people of the Eora Nation. The headland includes Mackenzies Point, named after the Mackenzie family who operated a fishing and boating presence in the early 20th century. The surrounding coastline was also the site of Wonderland City, an early 1900s amusement park at Tamarama. The reserve was later dedicated as public parkland within the Waverley municipality.

Marks Park is culturally significant as a major public open space on Sydney's eastern coastline and as the principal outdoor venue for Sculpture by the Sea, one of Australia's largest free public sculpture exhibitions held annually in spring. It is also valued for its Aboriginal heritage and its role as a scenic landmark on the Bondi to Coogee Coastal Walk.
