McQuade Park was laid out by Governor Lachlan Macquarie in 1810 as the town square for Windsor, positioned in front of the historic St Matthew's Church.
Today, it is a spacious and picturesque park in the heart of Windsor, featuring a large sports field, a heritage rotunda, picnic shelters, and public toilet facilities. A scenic pond at one end of the park adds to its charm and is a popular backdrop for wedding photography, as well as a peaceful spot to relax and watch the resident ducks.
