Upgrading Mountain Street Reserve, Ultimo

Ultimo

Planned

Works are expected to start in early 2026 and take 4 months to complete, weather permitting.

Why we’re doing this

This pocket park was identified for upgrading as part of our ongoing park renewal program.

We developed a concept design for the park based on your feedback in early 2025.

What we’re doing

Works will include:

  • building new and upgrading existing pathways with lighting on main paths 
  • installing seats 
  • adding garden beds with more plants 
  • building new and restoring existing retaining walls.

We’ll plant 4 new trees and remove 2 damaged trees. All other mature trees will be retained and protected during works.
