Putney Park

Picnic at Putney Park on the Parramatta River

A delightful park for families, Putney Park in Putney (where else?) is part of the City of Ryde and was one of the first areas of British colonial settlement. One of the earliest settlers was the brewer James Squire who settled there in 1792 and established his brewery the Malt Shovel near the Kissing Point close to the park.
