He completed his outfit with beige chinos and wore comfortable green Adidas trainers for the outing.
Peter kept a low profile and wore dark sunglasses as he walked through the park with Sylvia and a friend.
His wife Sylvia was also protected from the cold by a long beige wool coat over a lilac sweater and black tights.
She wore dark sunglasses and a pair of comfortable white sneakers.
The couple appeared relaxed and happy as they watched their sons Oscar and Henry playing in the park.
Despite the cold weather in Sydney, Peter eventually went swimming in the ocean with his son.

When Peter entered the water, he was wearing orange board shorts and showing off his biceps.
It appeared the water was a little too cold for the Sky News presenter, who stood on the bank with his son Oscar with a pained look on his face.
Fed up with the waves, Peter wrapped a blue and white towel around his waist and pulled on a brown hoodie.

The observation comes after Peter recently received a lot of criticism from the public after a shocking interview.
In May, Peter admitted he was “sorry” for ruining a young fishing champion’s big moment, and apologized live on television after the backlash.
Keegan Payne, 19, made headlines across Australia after he hooked a barramundi worth $1 million in Katherine, 317km south of Darwin.
His prize catch was part of the Million Dollar Fish fishing competition, which was designed to boost tourism in the Northern Territory.
However, his celebration was abruptly cut short during a tough interview with Peter.

The breakfast host asked point-blank if there was any truth to rumours that Keegan and a friend had once stolen an 4×4 and a quad bike from his former employer, Bob Cavanagh.
Keegan said the accusation was true and offered his old boss a sincere apology over the painful exchange.
The item sparked outrage among viewers, who demanded that Peter resign for trying to turn a feel-good story into a scandal.

After the incident, Peter apologized to Keegan on live television.
“My apologies, last Wednesday we invited Keegan Payne on our show to talk about his win in the Million Dollar Fish competition in the Northern Territory,” Stefanovic said during the first edition on Sky News.
“During that interview I asked him about a theft that had occurred a number of years earlier. I should not have asked him about those allegations and I regret having done so.”

After all the commotion, Peter deleted all of his social media accounts.
Meanwhile, a petition calling on him to resign has been signed by more than 3,500 people.
Sky News was also forced to apologise, with the network revealing that Peter had personally apologised to Mr Payne and his family.
