This ‘open-air museum’ in the heart of metropolitan Sydney was once part of the Governor’s Domain, established in 1788. It is important for both Aboriginal and European heritage, and has long been an integral part of western Sydney life.
Visitors can enjoy picnicking, strolling in the grounds, playing sports on the sporting fields, or visiting historic buildings such as Old Government House. The Parramatta River flows through the park, providing a tranquil break from the nearby hubbub. Discovery programs operate during school holidays.
