Princes Park
The treed path is not light, and the ovals are dark, so you can't be seen from the road; the flat open surround means you can keep an eye out for cars/groups of people, etc. Don't get any normal pedestrian traffic at night. If you want more privacy, you are pretty safe just going out on the oval and lying beneath the stars, or up to the tennis courts. The toilet block close to optus oval on Royal Parade works during the day (and is very busy) but is shut at night.
