Singleton: Art, Trails and Green Spaces

Singleton offers several distinct ways to explore the area: contemporary art at the Singleton Arts + Cultural Centre, shared paths and cycling trails, and Baileys Union Park, a green space in the CBD. There is also the Singleton Sundial, which forms a gateway to the Hunter River. These offer different possible focuses for your visit—a cultural program, outdoor activity, or a mix of both. If you are looking for a holiday rental, you can start by considering which of these aspects you would like to be the main focus of your trip. The experiences that interest you in Singleton can naturally guide your choice of where to stay.

Art and culture at the Singleton Arts + Cultural Centre

The Singleton Arts + Cultural Centre (SACC) houses the Singleton Civic Art Collection. The Centre also offers an annual program of contemporary art exhibitions by local, regional, national and international artists. The program ranges from local to international perspectives on contemporary art. It also includes related public events, talks, activities and workshops for all ages. For families, this variety offers an engaging cultural element: alongside exhibitions, the program includes opportunities to listen and take part. You can take the age groups specifically mentioned into account when planning if you are travelling with children of different ages. Which exhibition or activity fits your trip will depend on the program at the time.

Shared paths and cycling trails

The Singleton township has 22 km of shared paths and cycling trails. The network is continually being upgraded and extended with additional connections. This provides a different focus from the cultural offerings at the SACC: here, the emphasis is on paths and physical activity rather than exhibitions and events. If you would like to include cycling or shared paths in your stay, you can take this offering into account when planning your trip. For a particular ride, it is worth checking the current route, as the network continues to develop. This makes the amount of physical activity you want a separate factor in deciding how to spend your time in Singleton.

Green space in the CBD and connection to the Hunter River

Baileys Union Park is a green space in Singleton’s CBD. Its location offers a specific point of reference for travellers who would also like to include green space in the town centre as they explore. The Singleton Sundial forms a gateway to the Hunter River, bringing a different connection into your trip planning. The park and the sundial therefore represent two distinct themes: a green space in the CBD and the river as a point of reference. When considering what particularly interests you in Singleton, you can compare these focuses. The park brings the town centre into focus; the sundial turns your attention to the Hunter River.

Planning your trip

The Singleton Visitor Information Centre provides information about local attractions, activities and accommodation options in Singleton and the surrounding area. This overview can be useful if you are still weighing up which experiences you would like to shape your stay. The information covers Singleton and the surrounding area, so when making your decision, consider whether you want to focus on the town or explore further options nearby.

When choosing a holiday rental, it is worth first deciding what kind of stay you want. Should the cultural program be the deciding factor? Are you more interested in being active on the trails, or would you like to include the green space in the CBD and the connection to the Hunter River in your explorations? These different aspects offer specific questions to help guide your trip planning.
