This park bronze Archibald Fountain in 1932 which remembers Australia's partnership with France amid WWI, while the Art Deco Anzac War Memorial 1934, in the southern portion of the recreation center, respects its casualties.

Worked by convict work in 1817-19, Hyde Park Barracks was reestablished to its unique condition in 1975-84 and now houses an exhibition hall on the historical backdrop of Sydney depicting the lives of the primary automatic "pilgrims." On the east side of Hyde Park is the Australian Museum, with the biggest characteristic history gathering in the nation.
