Callan Park

Callan Park, previously known as Garry Owen Estate, is a 60-hectare (150-acre) heritage listed site located in Lilyfield, Inner West Council in Sydney, NSW.

It was originally purchased by John Ryan Brenan and later renamed Callan Park by John Gordon. The site is known for its historical significance and was once a local center for social life.

In 1885, the colonial government bought the land to build a lunatic asylum, which remained in place until 1994. The Kirkbride Complex, a part of the hospital, was later renovated and occupied by Sydney College of the Arts. Many buildings, including the Kirkbride Complex, are listed on the NSW State Heritage Register.

Broughton Hall, a former residence, convalescent hospital, and psychiatric clinic, is also located in Callan Park. It was built in 1841 and served as a residence for prominent individuals until 1914. It later became the Broughton Hall Psychiatric Clinic and merged into Rozelle Hospital. The site suffered damage from fire and vandalism and fell into disuse.

Callan Park is situated in the suburb of Lilyfield on the border with Rozelle. It is located next to Iron Cove and the popular Bay Run runs through the park along the foreshore of Iron Cove.

The NSW Office of Environment and Heritage manages a large part of the Callan Park site on behalf of Health Administration Corporation, which is a division of NSW Health. The other precincts are managed by the Ambulance Service of New South Wales and the Sydney Local Health District.
