Parramatta's pre-eminent park






Parramatta Park is about history. It's about spaciousness and leisure activities. It's about fruit bats, the upper extremity of the Parramatta River, monuments and historical relics galore. There's lots of cricket getting played, usually by Parramatta's Indian population, there are rock concerts and orchestral ones, and there's Old Government House - the oldest surviving public building in Australia. Then there's the site of the first farm, the one that saved the early European settlers from an early starvation. There's the remains of an astronomical observatory, and there's lots more. I could go on, but I won't. It's a top park. Check it out if you haven't yet.
