McQuade Park was planned by Lachlan Macquarie in 1810 as the abundant square that was to stand in front of St Matthews Church, Windsor.
Today, it is a spacious and picturesque park in historic Windsor, featuring a large sports field, a heritage rotunda, public toilets, and picnic shelters. A scenic pond at one end of the park adds to its charm and is a popular backdrop for wedding photos or a peaceful spot to watch the local ducks. It's an ideal place for a relaxing stroll.
