Art Barton Park is named after the renowned artist of Luna Park It is on a section of Lavender Bay foreshore immediately to the west of Luna Park.
Art worked as an artist at Luna Park from 1935 until 1970 when he retired. In the early 1950's he redesigned the entrance and created the clown face that became the iconic image of Luna Park.
So if yo do happen to visit Luna Park, walk just a little further to this small, out of the way park and pay tribute to a character with a long standing association to the nearby fairground.

Beaches: Brighton-Le-Sands

Brighton-Le-Sands is on the western shore of Botany Bay just minutes south of Sydney's international airport.
There are three swimming baths on a very long stretch of beach. A handful of good restaurants lie along the foreshore of Botany Bay for a fine dining experience right on the water.
Botany Bay is quite shallow and quickly gets rough in windy conditions so the beach is suitable for swimming only in good weather. I did see a number of wind surfers taking advantage of a strong breeze at the time.
I can't compare it to more famous Sydney beaches such as Bondi or Manly because I didn't visit these. But Brighton looks good enough for a swim on a sunny Sydney day.

Some great tips here - wish I'd known more about Luna Park before we went to Sydney as we would definitely have gone! And I've played that food- photographing game with non VT-ers too - it always bewilders them ;) | volopolo Wed Apr 30, 2008 23:55 UTC
