Explore Parramatta Park's fascinating history and natural beauty on our new curated walk. You can access the free walking itinerary and digital map at Walks Near Me as part of Transport for NSW’s The Festival of Place program.
Its importance is recognised through the World Heritage listing of Old Government House and the Domain, with the house the oldest surviving public building in Australia. Next to this, you can visit The Crescent, to take in views over the Parramatta River, or the Dairy and Rangers cottages, both also included in the World Heritage listing.
Walk the Burramatta Landscape Trail along the eastern bank of Domain Creek where Traditional Custodians have planted yam daisy or visit the site of Little Coogee, once a popular swimming spot.

How a track gets its grade
The grading system assesses a walk’s difficulty based on several criteria, including: experience required, steps, gradient, path quality, and signage. A walk’s final grade is based on the most difficult of these 5 criteria, rather than an average. So some walks will have criteria that meet an easier grade.
