Sydney Olympic Park is a 640-hectare area in Homebush Bay which was notable as the site of the Sydney 2000 Olympics.

Three completed residential developments in the area are Newington, The Waterfront and Mariners Cove.
The Olympic venues include Stadium Australia (now Telstra Stadium), Sydney Superdome (now Acer Arena), Sydney Showgrounds, Athletics Centre, Aquatic Centre, Tennis Centre, Hockey Stadium and multiple sports halls.
