Parramatta Park

When I was planning my trip to Sydney last year I discovered that there was this really cool looking gate at the entrance to this park, however I also noticed that this park was quite large. As it turns out large is a bit of an understatement — it is absolutely huge. So huge that it contains a relic of Australia’s convict past — Old Government House. There are some huge flat grasses areas, large enough to have a round-​robin professional football festival (though I am exaggerating a bit, but it is still pretty big). The Parramatta River also runs through the middle of the park, though it isn’t really all that wide, but don’t try to jump over it — you might end up getting wet. When I went for a wander around here I barely even scratched the surface, but it certainly is a decent place was a walk, jog, picnic, or even a game of One Day International Cricket.
