Park & playground works

Upgrading Federal Park

We’re adding a basketball hoop, seating, trees and lighting to the park in Annandale

Annandale

Planned

Works are expected to start in late 2026.

What we’re doing

The works include:

  • a basketball hoop and hardcourt. We’ll use a specialised backboard and court tile surface, both designed to absorb impact and reduce noise
  • new seating
  • new trees
  • new basketball court lights to follow the same schedule as the skate park lights, switching off at 9pm.
A concept design map shows a proposed basketball hoop, new path, lighting, park seating, and new trees at Federal Park, with labelled features and a location map inset.

Why we’re doing this

Our open space, sports and recreation needs study found a shortfall in facilities and highlighted the need for new ones. We want to provide quality public spaces and have received community requests to provide a basketball hoop in the area. Our concept plan was based on your feedback.
