Machattie Park

In the heart of Bathurst is Machattie Park.

Since replacing the Bathurst Gaol in 1889, Machattie Park embodies the seasonal changes you will find throughout the Bathurst region. Whether looking for a shady spot to picnic in summer, chasing the golden leaves in autumn, enjoying the light displays of the Bathurst Winter Festival, or gazing at the blooming flowerbeds and cherry blossoms in spring, there’s always something fascinating to experience.

The park is also of architectural interest as it displays principal elements of 19th century Victorian design in the layout, bandstand, Caretakers Cottage, Cargo Fountain, Fernery and Lake Spencer.
