Prince Alfred Square, Heritage park in Parramatta, Australia.

Prince Alfred Square extends across 1.5 hectares on the northern side of Parramatta River, featuring diagonal paths lined with century-old trees.

The park grounds contained Parramatta's second jail from 1804 to 1841 and first female factory until 1821 before becoming a public recreation space.

The square received its name in 1868 to mark Prince Alfred's visit, transforming from its earlier local names of Gaol Green and Hanging Green.

The central location in Parramatta's business district makes the park accessible through Church Street, offering space for community events and recreation.

The park contains Moreton Bay figs, a camphor laurel, and a Bunya pine planted during the mid-Victorian period around 1869.
