Photograph by David Coleman. Luna Park Sydney, with its iconic entrance featuring a large smiling face, is a historic amusement park located at Milsons Point on the northern shore of Sydney Harbour. The park's entrance, which serves as both a gateway and a symbol of the park, is particularly striking when illuminated at night. Originally opened in 1935, Luna Park Sydney was modeled after the first Luna Park at Coney Island in New York. The park's famous face entrance, designed by artist Rupert Browne, has become one of Sydney's most recognizable landmarks. The current face, known as "Cliff, " was installed in 1994 and is the seventh iteration since the park's opening. The entrance consists of a large smiling face with wide eyes and a gaping mouth through which visitors enter the park. At night, the face and surrounding structures are illuminated with thousands of colored lights, creating a dazzling display visible from across the harbour. The vibrant colors and art deco styling of the entrance reflect the park's carnival atmosphere and its 1930s origins. Luna Park's location offers stunning views of Sydney Harbour, including the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House. The park has experienced several closures and renovations throughout its history, but its cultural significance has ensured its preservation. In 2010, the NSW Government placed Luna Park on its State Heritage Register, recognizing its importance to Sydney's cultural landscape. Today, Luna Park continues to operate as an amusement park, featuring a mix of historic and modern rides. The illuminated entrance not only serves as a gateway to the park but also as a beacon of Sydney's nighttime entertainment scene, drawing both locals and tourists to its whimsical atmosphere and harbourside location.
