Cathy Freeman Park
An Iconic Open Air Venue for Community, Charity & Fundraising Events
Set in the heart of Sydney Olympic Park, Cathy Freeman Park is one of the city’s most recognised outdoor venues. Surrounded by stadiums, cultural spaces, and wide boulevards, it provides an open, high-capacity setting that’s perfect for charity fun runs, community festivals, fundraisers, and outdoor wellness events.
Eventspec is a trusted partner for events at Cathy Freeman Park. We’ve delivered full-scale AV and event production services for large public gatherings here, including start/finish zones for running events, stage builds for entertainment, and PA systems for MCs, music, and crowd control. With no fixed AV infrastructure, this venue demands a provider who can design and deliver everything from the ground up — and that’s exactly what we do.
What We Love About Cathy Freeman Park
- It’s built for scale. Whether you’re expecting hundreds or thousands, the park can accommodate large crowds comfortably and safely.
- Perfect for active and community-focused events. From fun runs and walkathons to outdoor yoga and festivals, the open space allows for dynamic programming.
- Iconic setting, high visibility. The park’s location near Accor Stadium and other Olympic venues lends prestige and profile to any event.
- We know it well. From power access to traffic flow, we’re experienced in working within SOPA guidelines and understand how to make events run smoothly in this environment.
EVENTS WE'VE DELIVERED HERE
We’ve supported a wide range of events at Cathy Freeman Park, including charity running events, outdoor fitness activations, and community fundraisers. In many cases, we’ve designed start and finish zones complete with MC stages, PA systems, sponsor-branded backdrops, and live audio support — all installed and managed in a short window with strict site access times.
Because the park has no permanent AV setup, every production element must be carefully planned. We’ve supplied
battery or generator-powered systems,
wireless mic kits,
foldback speakers for MCs, and
timed cue playback to ensure seamless audio across the event footprint. We also support event organisers with
showcalling,
bump-in/bump-out coordination, and
on-the-day logistics, helping complex public events run safely and professionally.
