White City

Paddington amusement park designed as a white city with mountains of snow. It had Australia's biggest scenic railway and merry-go-round and closed in 1916. The White City Stadium, located at the White City Tennis Club, was built on the site in 1922. Once an iconic part of Sydney's sporting life, the property fell into disrepair and was sold by Tennis NSW in 2005.
