Project Status: Completed
Works started in April 2022 and and were completed in June 2022.
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.
