What we’re doing

The upgrade includes:

  • new garden edging and dog fencing
  • a new crushed granite pavement
  • cleaning of existing brick wall, entry pavements and steps
  • improving the drainage systems.

The park will be closed during the works. The nearest parks to enjoy are Albert Sloss Reserve Playground and the Frances Newton Reserve.
