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:
“Linnæus, setting out for Lapland, surveys his “comb” and “spare shirt,” “leathern breeches” and “gauze cap to keep off gnats,” with as much complacency as Bonaparte a park of artillery for the Russian campaign. The quiet bravery of the man is admirable.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“...I believe it is now the duty of the slaves of the South to rebuke their masters for their robbery, oppression and crime.... No station or character can destroy individual responsibility, in the matter of reproving sin.”
—Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)
