Hyde Park, Urban park in central Sydney, Australia
The 16.2-hectare rectangular park features the Archibald Fountain and ANZAC Memorial, surrounded by mature exotic and native trees along Elizabeth Street.
Established in 1810 by Governor Macquarie as Australia's first public park, the area previously served as an Aboriginal contest ground and military assembly point.
The park hosts multiple national ceremonies and events throughout the year, including Sydney Festival, Australia Day celebrations, and the Food and Wine Fair.
The park provides easy access through St James and Museum train stations, with public facilities and alfresco dining spaces for up to 90 people.
A collection of 580 mature trees, including the historic central avenue of Hill's Figs, creates a natural canopy through the park's main walkway.
