Parks & Open Spaces

We are delivering linked open space, and sporting and recreation facilities to meet the City’s needs over the next 20 years. The Water Police site park at Pyrmont Point, Paddington Reservoir, Orphan School Creek at Forest Lodge/Camperdown and Balfour Street in Chippendale will be significant additions to City open space.
