Mga tip mula sa mga tagaroon
Located on Oxford Street, opposite both the Paddington Post Office and the Paddington Town Hall (including the library), the Paddington Reservoir Gardens are a lovely spot to take a picnic rug or a take away coffee and enjoy the sunken gardens.
Beautiful new underground gardens in the vaults of an old reservoir. Peaceful, serene and magical.
This is a beautiful little sunken garden to wile away half an hour. Definitely worth a stroll - artwork hangs on the old reservoir walls below ground level. Great place to sit with a takeout sandwich!
The place is important in demonstrating the course, or pattern, of cultural or natural history in New South Wales. Paddington Reservoir is an integral part of the original Sydney Water Supply System and is a unique example of construction methods and technology advances in Australia in the nineteenth century. The two reservoirs of the Botany Swamps Scheme, Crown Street and Paddington are thought to have been designed in the early 1850s by Edward Bell, the City Engineer.[2] In 2006 architects Tonkin Zulaikha Greer and landscape architects JMD Design began work to conserve, restore and reuse the space of the then derelict Paddington Reservoir. The facility reopened in 2008 as a sunken garden with rooftop reserve above the preserved eastern chamber. The facility integrates the remains of the original brick, timber and iron structure with modern elements of sculptural, structural and functional significance which provide access to the sunken garden via stairs and an elevator as well as ramped access to the rooftop reserve.
