Why we’re doing this
A small park was established in 2012 at 19–25 Lyons Road, Camperdown, bounded by Lyons Road and Lambert and Purkis streets.
The park was recently redesigned, with advice from an Indigenous consultancy, to include native plantings, a playground, a fitness area and multiple seating areas.
Naming this park is important for wayfinding and access for emergency vehicles.
What we’re doing
Daranggara is the word for cabbage tree palm in the Sydney Aboriginal language. The word is pronounced durran-garrah. This name references the hardy, resilient plants that are now planted in the park and endemic to the area.
This proposal recognises local Aboriginal cultural heritage through naming and related interpretive signs.
Council resolved at its meeting on 17 March 2025 to seek community feedback on the proposed name. This is the first step in officially naming the park.
