By car
There is a general shortage on on-street and free parking in Parramatta. Expect to have difficulty parking in the CBD on weekdays, and near the shops on weekends. Paid parking is usually available and is considerably cheaper than in the Sydney CBD. Westfield has free parking for the first three hours.
By train
Parramatta has one main railway station. Its suburbs of Harris Park, Granville, Rosehill and Westmead also have railway stations.
Westmead station is on the Western Line and can be accessed by taking a train west from Parramatta towards Blacktown, Penrith, or Richmond. Harris Park and Granville are also on the Western Line and can be accessed by taking a train east from Parramatta towards the city. Rosehill is on the Carlingford Line and requires taking a train east from Parramatta to Clyde station and then changing trains one stop to Rosehill. Note that although Rosehill is closer to some attractions like the Rosehill Racecourse, the Carlingford Line is only served hourly by trains outside of peak times due to extremely low usage and it's single track bottleneck. You can walk to Rosehill from Parramatta in less than half an hour, and to Harris Park in around 15 minutes.
