Public consultation period to
We’re looking for your feedback about whether Rosebank Park, Darlinghurst, should stay an off-leash park.
Some residents have raised concerns about significant turf erosion and dust since the park became off-leash in 2019. We returf each year. During these works, large sections of the park are closed for many weeks, inconveniencing park visitors and the local community.
