The Domain, Public park in Sydney, Australia.
The Domain extends across 34 hectares of green space on the eastern edge of Sydney central business district, connecting to the Royal Botanic Garden.
Governor Arthur Phillip established a farm at Farm Cove in 1788, designating this land as the Phillip Domain for exclusive gubernatorial use.
The park functions as a central venue for outdoor concerts, political gatherings, and major events including Opera in the Park during Sydney Festival.
Multiple entrances through Art Gallery Road, Hospital Road, and Mrs Macquarie's Road provide access to the park's extensive network of paths.
The Domain contains the Fleet Steps, which descend to Farm Cove shoreline, and borders the Art Gallery of New South Wales.
