Hyde Park is the largest park in Sydney (16 hectares in the area). It was named after the original Hyde Park in London. The centerpiece of Hyde Park is the Archibal Fountain. The fountain was designed by François Sicard and donated by J.F. Archibal in 1932 in honor of Australia's contribution to World War I in France. St Mary’s Cathedral, the barracks and the Parliament are also closes to Hyde Park.
At the park's southern end is the ANZAC War Memorial behind the 'Lake of Reflections' or 'Pool of Remembrance'. This Memorial was built due to 120 000 death during the World War 2. The roof of this Memorial is completely ground of gold stars, one for each soldier was dead.
At the park’s northern end is the barrack. Hyde Park Barracks were designed by the colonial architect Francis Greenway and built between 1818 and 1819, and built by the convict labour. As the principal male convict barracks in New South Wales it provided lodgings for convicts working in government employment around Sydney until its closure in mid 1848.
Now, the newly installed Hyde Park Barracks is a museum operated by the Historic Houses Trust of New South Wales. Tourists who visit the building discover the daily lives of convicts and other occupants through exhibitions on Sydney’s male convict labour force, Australia’s convict system.
