Centennial Park Labyrinth

November 29, 2016

Centennial Park is home to Sydney’s first public stone labyrinth, and possibly the most intricately built labyrinth in the world.

The labyrinth is a magnificently crafter pathway designed for quiet reflection and exploration. You can find it adjacent to the northern end of Willow Pond (off Dickens Drive).

The labyrinth is an 11 circuit sandstone one, based on the designed of the medieval labyrinth in Chartres Cathedral in France, which dates from the early 13th century. Used as a tool for reflection or meditation in many cultures, a labyrinth has been acknowledged for its therapeutic and medical benefits, and received much attention within the last decade.  Being a right brain exercise which can activate the intuitive, imaginative and creative side of your brain, resolving its mystery will surely be a beneficial experience.

Composer Corrina Bonshek, inspired by the Centennial Park Labyrinth and the birds of Centennial Park, has created a beautiful piece of music that you can download for free and use as an enhancement to your labyrinth experience.
