3. Hyde Park

Named after London's own Hyde Park, this stretch of greenspace spans three city blocks. It was home to NSW's first racetrack and was once used to mark the outskirts of the city. Among the many interesting sites you'll find are the ANZAC War Memorial (an Art Deco building located at the southern end of the park) and the Archibald Fountain (which commemorates Australia and France's alliance in WWI and is located at the northern end of the park). The Avenue of Figs, a shady, quiet place to escape the summer heat, runs between these two sites. St. James and Museum stations both have exits at the park.   (© 10Best)
