[edit] The Park
Queens Park was originally part of the Sydney Common and later the Lachlan Swamps Water Reserve. Large urban park. Numerous playing fields located on the southern and western flattish sections of the park. The park is surrounded by houses on three sides. Many on the eastern side date from the Victorian era. Those on the northern and southern sides are mainly Federation. It was dedicated with Centennial Park in 1887. Numerous playing fields are located on the southern and western flattish sections of the park. It has been used for sports fields since 1938, by Waverley College and others. [1]
[edit] The Suburb
The park is surrounded by houses on three sides. Many on the eastern side date from the Victorian era. Those on the northern and southern sides are mainly Federation.
[edit] History
Queens Park takes its name from the park of the same name on its southern border.
Once part of Bondi Junction, the suburb's name was officially recognised in 1992. A significant number of longer-term residents, however, in the Queens Park area, still refer to their suburb as Bondi Junction. This may be because Queens Park is a relatively new and not widely known suburb throughout Sydney, compared to the instantly recognisable name of Bondi Junction.
