Belmore Park

Contains the grave of noted explorer Gregory Blaxland, who led the first expedition across the Blue Mountains.

It was named after Prince Alfred who visited the colony in 1867. It was the site of the colony's first gaol. Today it is a shaded, open space taking up one city block close to the centre of Parramatta. Community events are held here.

This is the cathedral church for the catholic diocese of Parramatta, which stretches from Granville in the east to Mount Victoria in the west. Although the cathedral was only built in the 1930s it is interesting because it was burnt down in 1995 and rebulit in 2003. The new cathedral incorporates the old church with a new wing designed by Romaldo Giurgola who designed Australia's Parliament House in Canberra.

It was completed in 1847 and is of a "Victorian Academic Gothic" style of architecture.

A dam and popular recreation spot formed by damming one of the creeks which flows into the Parramatta River. Open for swimming on certain Council-sponsored event days. A few bushwalks to choose from around the lake.

Home to the local Parramatta Eels rugby league team and Western Sydney Wanderers football team. Games on every second weekend during the winter (Eels) and summer (Wanderers). The stadium has a capacity of 30,000.
