Newington Armory

Newington Armory, once the Royal Australian Naval Armament Depot, now stands as a vibrant arts precinct within Sydney Olympic Park. The site boasts over 100 heritage buildings set amidst 52 hectares of riverside landscape, featuring undulating hills and woodlands. Visitors can explore the Armory Gallery, housed in a WWII-era armament storehouse, which hosts major exhibitions like ArtExpress and Operation Art. The Armory Wharf Café offers fresh seasonal food with riverside views. Nearby, Blaxland Riverside Park provides outdoor activities, including a double flying fox, tunnel slides, and a water feature. Dogs are not permitted within Newington Armory. For visitor safety and protection of the heritage area, gates close strictly at 5 pm.
