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:
“Therefore awake! make haste, I say,
And let us, without staying,
All in our gowns of green so gay
Into the Park a-maying!”
—Unknown. Sister, Awake! (L. 9–12)
“How soon country people forget. When they fall in love with a city it is forever, and it is like forever. As though there never was a time when they didn’t love it. The minute they arrive at the train station or get off the ferry and glimpse the wide streets and the wasteful lamps lighting them, they know they are born for it. There, in a city, they are not so much new as themselves: their stronger, riskier selves.”
—Toni Morrison (b. 1931)
