Marsden Park, New South Wales

Marsden Park is a suburb of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Marsden Park is located 49 km north-west of the Sydney central business district, in the Blacktown local government area and is part of the Greater Western Sydney region.

The rapid development of Marsden Park beginning 2013 led to a large increase in the suburb's population. However, slow creation of adequate infrastructure and services such as shops, schools, roads, public transport and healthcare to match the increased houses and rising population, has led Marsden Park to be seen as a prime example of urban sprawl within the outskirts of Sydney.

The suburb name should not be confused with the park and surrounding housing estate with the same name Marsden Park, also known as 'Park Central' located in Campbelltown, in the Campbelltown local government area part of both the Macarthur region and South Western Sydney.

History
The suburbs takes its name from Samuel Marsden (1764–1838), a Church of England priest and landowner in the area.

The suburb boundaries of Schofields were changed in November 2020, resulting in the creation of new suburbs of Melonba and Angus in the west and north respectively.
