Quartier: Darlinghurst
À l'origine de la révolution des petits bars, Darlinghurst compte plus de bars par personne que n'importe quel autre quartier de Sydney. Vous trouverez aussi bien des bars à whisky américain que des bars à thème des années 1950 ou des bars cachés où l'on entre avec un mot de passe secret. Oxford Street est la « capitale gay » de l'Australie avec des établissements destinés aux gays et lesbiennes qui proposent des « spectacles de divas » et des pistes de danse ouvertes toute la nuit. Les passionnés de vintage affluent sur Crown Street, et on peut trouver de petites boutiques de créateurs le long de Victoria Street et Bourke Street. Dîner dans le quartier de Darlinghurst est une véritable aventure gastronomique. Toutes les cuisines du monde y sont représentées, des travers de porc à l'américaine aux tapas, en passant par les sushis et les glaces italiennes, et bien d'autres styles encore.

Green Park is a large, open, grassy space in the middle of busy Darlinghurst and across the road from St Vincents Hospital.
It has a number of park bench seats, spaced out throughout the park and many well-established trees with huge canopies that create lots of shady spots to sit on the grass.
There are always people using the park. Darlinghurst is such a diverse area that you’ll see locals strolling through or sitting with a coffee, hospital staff on their break, and homeless people all sharing the space.
The park has a long history and was originally home to the colony’s hangman, Alexander Green, who lived here in a small hut at the back of the Darlinghurst Gaol. During the 1800s, he hanged 490 people before he was (understandably) declared insane and was packed off to an asylum.
His story is re-told on a board in the park.
A couple of nice historic features have been preserved from the past - a rotunda or bandstand from the mid-1920s and a quaint metal fountain. The fountain is one several ornamental drinking fountains Glasgow which were placed around Sydney in the 1870s. A modern bubbler has been installed now so you can fill your water bottle here.
Two very different but both very moving monuments are also located in the park.
At the park’s main entrance, a low sandstone wall commemorates Dr Vincent Chang, the celebrated surgeon who performed Australia’s first successful heart transplant in 1984 at St Vincent’s Hospital, across the road. Less than 10 years later, he was murdered during a failed attempt at kidnapping and extortion.
At the back of the park (opposite the Jewish Holocaust Museum), is an eye-catching modern sculpture - the Gay And Lesbian Holocaust Memorial.

Still gets a lot of crazies but otherwise it's a nice clean park in the middle of Darlinghurst, popular with hospital staff and with a few monuments.

located near vinnies hospital, in darlo, is this lovely green leafy space, plenty of seating to be had or just sitting on the grass on a sunny day, the rotunda is the centre piece, easy to imagine, big bands entertaining the locals in times gone by.

Green Park is a pleasant patch of green with some large green trees on Darlinghurst Road in Darlinghurst and close to the old jail over the road. Alexander Green arrived at the nearby goal in 1824 and became the assistant hangman in 1828. Green was moved from the jail in 1841 and lived in a white-washed hut in what was known as Greens Park until it was burnt to the ground and it was back the the jail. Despite the association with Green the convict, who hanged over 400 people and went insane and was released the park was named after an Alderman Green, who was not a convict and no relation to the hangman.It is still a pleasant patch of green in Darlinghurst.

ビルズから徒歩でパディントンへ移動したときに訪問しました。セントビンセント病院の真ん前で、グリーンがきれいでした。一呼吸で休憩。ユダヤ人博物館もあるようでした。

This park is small, but it has some amazing trees. Lots of people like to come here for a reprieve of the heat. Many lay down on the grass, either to read, watch, or sleep.
It has also a lovely gazebo.
I enjoyed the shade on this hot day. Next was to visit the Sydney’s Jewish Museum.

We sat and took in the local scenery for about half an hour here. There were plenty of benches and shade which was nice. Lots of people coming and going and just enjoying a beautiful afternoon.

My return visit to this part of inner-Sydney was on a rainy winter's day. I was at the bus stop alongside the park and wanted to use the shelter structure. The seat was occupied by three apparently homeless men so I stood. When two older women came along to wait for the bus, the three gave up the seat to them and headed off. I don't know where else they were able to find shelter. Quite a few needy people live in and around Green Park, and a couple of times a day a charity-run food van stops beside the park to hand out food.
