Park Street is a street in the central business district of Sydney in New South Wales, Australia. It runs from George Street in the west to College Street in the east, where it becomes William Street.[1]

Description

Park Street bisects Hyde Park,[a] hence its name. Publishing and Broadcasting Limited and its successor, Consolidated Media Holdings, had their corporate headquarters at 54 Park Street.[3]

An electric tramway once ran down Park Street between Elizabeth and College Streets. It was removed in 1960.
