Park & playground works

Building Gunyama Park stage 2 and George Julius Avenue North, Zetland

We’re creating a beautiful park for this fast growing neighbourhood.

Project Status: In progress

Works started in late 2024 and will take 18 months to complete.

Why we’re doing this

A portion of land has become available in Zetland that allows us to complete Gunyama Park.

We’ve completed a review of environmental factors for the second stage of works.

The plan includes various green spaces with trees, pathways and smaller structures labelled skatepark, lawn area, waterplay, amenities building, playground, learning circle and nature plan. The surrounding context shows adjacent roads and other buildings, indicating the project’s integration with the existing urban fabric. A section labelled Proposed Alignment shows a detailed view of tree alignments along a road.

What we’re doing

We’re adding an extra 6,300m² of green, open space to Gunyama Park in Zetland. This new public outdoor space will complement the City of Sydney’s award-winning pool and recreation centre and outdoor synthetic football pitch which make up the site.

The works include:

  • a larger open lawn area and more trees, shrubs and native plants
  • a First Nations learning circle and cultural season design elements
  • a skate park in the north-west corner of the site
  • new amenities building with change rooms and accessible public toilets
  • new playground and play equipment for younger and older age groups
  • new seating, picnic tables, shade canopies and barbecue facilities.

We’ll also build George Julius Avenue North, a new tree-lined road to the east of the site, which will connect Epsom Road to the future extension of Zetland Avenue.
