Parramatta Park is one of the oldest parks in Australia, has been open to the public since 1858 and its 85 hectares of open space includes walking trails, a 3.2km cycling loop, picnic shelters, barbecues and landmarks that are so well preserved the park is listed on the UNESCO World Heritage Register.
It regularly hosts events in its natural amphitheatre called The Crescent, and when you simply want to wander or settle in for a picnic, you can explore the gardens and waterside trails at any time of day. The park is never closed, though it has limited light after the sun has set.
And one of the simplest and most affordable ways of using our local green space!
