If you live locally you can walk to the event and enter Parramatta Park from multiple entry points. If travelling from a distance, we recommend public transport – it is an 18-minute walk to the Crescent from Westmead station and a 10-minute walk via the George Street Gatehouse from the George Street bus stops.

If entering from Westmead, you will need to come through the Queens Road gate because of construction works.
