Residents of one of Camden’s newest housing estates have a new open space to enjoy with council recently completing Arcadian Hills Park.
Cobbitty’s new park, pictured above, includes paths, seating, garden areas, public artwork and the original path and gates leading to the historic Denbigh property.
Mayor of Camden, Cr Theresa Fedeli, said the park provides a great connection between the modern suburb and its historical significance.
“It is important to provide open green space for residents whilst also paying tribute to the history of the area and this park is a great example of that,” Cr Fedeli said.
“The park includes a number of art elements showing aspects of pre-European settlement in the area as well as a fantastic place for kids to play or simply enjoy the fresh Camden air.
“I encourage local parents to get out and educate their families on the area’s history and also enjoy the new park.”
The park cost more than $700,000 and is located on Olive Hill Drive at Arcadian Hills, Cobbitty.
Council also recently completed upgrades to five playgrounds in the Camden area as part of its infrastructure renewal program, Manna Gum Reserve, Narellan Vale, Little Reserve, Camden, Eastlewood Reserve, Narellan (pictured below), Solander Reserve, Mount Annan and Harrington Park Reserve.

Meanwhile Campbelltown Council has announced one of its parks will be transformed into a weekend destination for families and friends to enjoy the get outdoors as part of a major upgrade.
The community’s views are now being sought on a draft concept plan for the Ingleburn Reserve site during the consultation period until August 7.
The $1.5 million project includes environmental improvements such as weed control and tree planting as well as upgrades to tracks and trails, access paths, picnic facilities, roads, parking and signage.
The upgrade is expected to be completed in June next year.
“Ingleburn Reserve is one of our hidden gems that provides a clear pathway to the Georges River and is a great spot for picnicking, swimming, fishing, bushwalking and birdwatching,” Mayor George Brticevic said.
“These upgrades will not only ensure the local fauna and flora benefit from the improvements made, but residents will also be better able to enjoy Campbelltown’s natural environment,” Cr Brticevic said.
