Parramatta Park is the site of the original New South Wales Governors' Residence and the first
sucessful "Government Farm" at which, for a time, the bulk of the flegling colony's food supply
was produced.

The George St Gatehouse is a key entry point for the Park and an iconic landmark in Parramatta. It
was built by the Parramatta Park Trust in 1885, on the site of Governor Macquarie’s small stone lodge.
