Paddington Reservoir Gardens, Sydney, Australia
About this stone
Paddington Reservoir Gardens is one of Sydney's most unique hidden gems—a beautifully restored 19th-century underground water reservoir transformed into a public garden. Located in the heart of Paddington, it's only about a 15-minute walk from Hyde Park.
Why it's special
Originally built in 1866 to supply Sydney with drinking water, the reservoir fell into disuse and was later converted into an award-winning garden that opened in 2009. The design preserves the original brick arches and sandstone structure while adding elevated walkways, lush gardens, and tranquil reflection pools.
