Parramatta Park and Old Government House

✨ My Review of Parramatta Park ✨ Visited Parramatta Park last Sunday and absolutely loved the experience! 🌿 It’s such a huge and vibrant park with a bit of everything—historic landmarks, wide open green spaces, peaceful river views, and even a massive bat colony (which was an unexpected surprise 🦇). Walking around felt refreshing and relaxing, and it’s the kind of place where you can easily spend hours without realizing it. I really liked how well the park is designed—separate tracks for walkers, cyclists, and cars, plenty of shaded areas, and loads of space so it never feels too crowded. Perfect spot for a picnic, casual stroll, photography, or just to clear your mind. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, Parramatta Park is definitely worth checking out. I’ll be going back again soon, this time with more snacks and maybe a longer walk along the river. Highly recommended! 🌳✨

Parramatta Parramatta Park is truly a local gem — giving off historical Central Park vibes right here in Western Sydney. 🌿 The scenery is breathtaking, surrounded by lush trees, vibrant flowers, and the calming sounds of Australian wildlife. There’s something for everyone — from open fields perfect for picnics to awesome playgrounds that keep the kids entertained for hours. And if you’re feeling peckish, the on-site MISC restaurant is an absolute must-try! With delicious selection of drinks, food and desserts all in a beautiful setting. Whether you are walking, cycling, relaxing, or simply soaking in the atmosphere, Parramatta Park is a reminder of how special Sydney’s green spaces truly are. Ps. I volunteered over 20 years ago and helped plant 100 trees to implement Parramatta Councils plan rebuild and preserve the Park decades ago has definitely paid off!!

Parramatta Park’s a top spot for everyone—perfect for a chilled day out with family and friends. Plenty of space for the kids to run around and play, and loads of comfy places to sit and soak up the sunshine. There’s a toilet right near the café inside the park which is super handy. You’ll spot ducks by the water and colourful birds flitting about—adds a lovely touch to the whole vibe.

Parramatta Park is such a great spot for a family outing. We had a BBQ, played games, and enjoyed the beautiful weather – it was such a fun day for everyone. The park is spacious, clean, and has plenty of areas to relax or be active. We loved it so much that we’ve decided to make this a monthly tradition. Perfect place for gatherings and outdoor fun!

Was an enjoyable walk around the historic buildings and along the river with HK guests. Never done it before. There was a Bat Colony. Did get time to try the cafe and go into the historic house. Parking was an issue. Only Two hr limited Mon/Friday
