What we’re doing
An upgrade that will also complement the community garden by improving access and safety.
Quality green open spaces are important for our residents, workers and visitors. Over the next 10 years, we’re upgrading over 60 parks in our area. These park upgrades will create better quality open spaces, help keep our city cooler, and support biodiversity.
We propose to:
- create welcoming park entries and improve access into the park
- improve accessibility with 2 new ramps into the park, staircase upgrades and a new path to the community garden
- provide a range of seating
- increase the useable green space with a new central turf area
- enhance native habitat plantings and biodiversity within the park.
This reserve is built above Kings Cross car park. To reduce structural and loading impacts on the roof, we’ll remove some trees including most of the casuarinas. This will also open up the usable green space and improve safety and sight lines in the park. Trees will be replaced with new mature trees to provide the same amount of canopy coverage.
