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. |
