Machattie Park
A Victorian-era park behind Bathurst Courthouse, with a begonia glasshouse, cast-iron fountain and bandstand.
Machattie Park was established in the late 19th century, between the courthouse and the city centre. It has a Victorian-style bandstand, a cast-iron fountain, a duck pond, and a begonia glasshouse that is open for display each year in March and April. Large shade trees fill the park, and its autumn leaves turn golden.
Admission is free. It is a good place to rest while touring the historic district.
