Callan Park, Heritage site in Lilyfield, New South Wales, Australia.
The 61-hectare park stretches along the Parramatta River, containing historic buildings, sports fields, and remnant bushland across rolling landscapes.
Established in the 1870s, Callan Park functioned as one of Sydney's first purpose-built mental health treatment facilities with specialized architecture and grounds.
The land holds deep connection to the Wangal people, who maintained traditional ownership before European settlement in New South Wales.
Visitors can access the park through entrances at Balmain Road intersection with Wharf Road or Gate A opposite Cecily Street, with parking available along roads.
The park designates over 20 hectares for off-leash dog activities, making it among the largest dog-friendly public spaces in Sydney.
