O’Briens Lane Reserve upgrade works

Providing the local community with a high-quality park that maximises useable green space and has improved pedestrian access.

Darlinghurst

Project Status: Completed

The new reserve was completed in April 2015.

What we’re doing

We renewed O'Briens Lane Reserve on the corner of Bourke and Stanley streets in Darlinghurst, to give the local community a high-quality pocket park.

We wanted to make the reserve and O'Briens Lane more appealing and even safer for people to walk through.

Works included:

  • new useable grass space and an accessible path through the park
  • new trees and planting
  • improved solar access and clear sightlines through the park
  • new energy-efficient LED lighting and
  • a raised, paved surface for O'Briens Lane to create a seamless transition from the lane to the park.
