  Hyde Park, Sydney
Hyde Park (6.5ha), with its lawns, shady benches, flower beds, fountains, statues and the Anzac War Memorial, is Sydney's most central park, just on the edge of the central business district, and consequently draws many visitors, particularly during the lunch break.
Sydney's first underground railway line, the City Railway, was opened in 1926, running under the park between St James Station and Central Station.
At the north end of Hyde Park, in Queens Square, are three fine Georgian buildings, masterpieces of the convict architect Francis Greenway: the Hyde Park Barracks, St James's Church and the Supreme Court.

 FAQs - Hyde Park Trees :: Sydney Media :: City of Sydney   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Hyde Park is Australia's oldest park, and was gazetted in 1810.  It contains over 600 trees, with 122 Hills Figs in the main avenue.  The main avenue was planted in the 1930s following the construction of the underground rail network.
In preparing the Tree Management Plan, a comprehensive assessment of all the trees in the Park has been undertaken by Council's Tree Management Team.  Following on from this, further arboricultural assessments were carried out on 145 of the trees by independent arborists and other specialists, such as soil scientists and plant pathologists.
Soil testing undertaken in preparing the Tree Management Plan revealed that the soil within the park is poor and needs major work.  This is due in part to the construction of the underground rail line, as the soils in the park were filled from the open cut trenches at the time.
