McQuade Park Windsor

Parks and Gardens

McQuade Park was planned by Lachlan Macquarie in 1810 as the abundant square that was to stand in front of St Matthews Church, Windsor.
McQuade Park
Today, it is a spacious and picturesque park in historic Windsor, featuring a large sports field, a heritage rotunda, public toilets, and picnic shelters. A scenic pond at one end of the park adds to its charm and is a popular backdrop for wedding photos or a peaceful spot to watch the local ducks. It's an ideal place for a relaxing stroll.

For those interested in early European history you will also find a large statue of Governor Macquarie. The statue is located directly opposite one of the great early churches and cemeteries in the Hawkesbury, New South Wales – St Matthews Church. The park has ample car parking available.
