Wentworth Park MLR Station
Wentworth Park is a light rail stop located in the suburb of Pyrmont, on the Metro Light Rail line in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The stop has two platforms, one for services to Lilyfield, the other for services to Central. The stop is named after the park on the opposite side of Wattle Street and the Wentworth Park Racecourse greyhound racing track.
The stop is located on the former Darling Harbour branch of the Metropolitan Goods railway line and was the original terminus of the MLR line when it opened with a single platform in 1997. On 13 August 2000, the MLR was extended along the disused section of goods line to Lilyfield and the second platform, for Lilyfield bound services, was opened. A crossover remains just past the city end of the platform.

Famous quotes containing the words park and/or station:
“and the words never said,
And the ominous, ominous dancing ahead.
We sat in the car park till twenty to one
And now I’m engaged to Miss Joan Hunter Dunn.”
—Sir John Betjeman (1906–1984)
“Say first, of God above, or Man below,
What can we reason, but from what we know?
Of Man what see we, but his station here,
From which to reason, or to which refer?
Thro’ worlds unnumber’d tho’ the God be known,
‘Tis ours to trace him only in our own.
”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
