Parramatta Correctional Centre, Prison complex in North Parramatta, Australia

The Parramatta Correctional Centre spans multiple buildings with sandstone walls, watchtowers, and various cell blocks across its extensive grounds at O'Connell Street.

The facility operated from 1798 until 2011, making it the longest-serving correctional institution in Australia before its transformation into a heritage site.

The prison facility returned to the Deerubbin Local Aboriginal Land Council in 2015, marking a shift in land management and cultural preservation.

The former correctional centre now welcomes visitors for guided tours, offering access to cell blocks, exercise yards, and historical documentation.

The building complex incorporates architectural elements from 1842, featuring designs by Mortimer Lewis and modifications by Captain George Barney.
