Families in Leppington, which is one South West Sydney’s fastest-growing communities, are set to enjoy a major new park.
The new park delivered in partnership with Liverpool City Council transforms almost eight hectares of former pastureland into a vibrant recreational destination in the heart of the South West Growth Area.
Community events, including free sports and recreational activities, will be held at the new park on August 23 and 30 to celebrate its opening.
This quality open space will support around 11,500 new homes and 11,000 jobs over the next 20 years, which were unlocked by the rezoning of Leppington Town Centre.
It means new residents have access to green spaces and recreation as the precinct develops into a thriving centre for families, workers, and businesses.
Located opposite Forest Memorial Park along Camden Valley Way, the park offers a range of sport- and nature-inspired play spaces for young people, alongside picnic areas and a walking path through grasslands.
“Leppington is one of the fastest-growing parts of Sydney, and it’s fantastic to see this incredible new space delivered for local families to enjoy,’’ says Member for Leppington Nathan Hagarty.
“Whether it’s riding the pump track, playing basketball with friends or simply enjoying a picnic outdoors, this park has something for everyone and will become a much-loved gathering place for our community.
“As more people choose to call Leppington home, it’s important we’re delivering the parks and community spaces that help create connected, liveable neighbourhoods from day one.”
Key features of the new park include:
- a beginner’s pump track for bikes, skateboards, rollerblades, and scooters
- a paved pathway through grasslands connecting to Camden Valley Way
- a youth hub with a basketball/netball half-court, climbing boulders, and hammock zone
- nature-based play area with sandstone steps, nets, and balance logs for climbing
- inclusive and accessible play equipment, including a slide, basket swing, and spinner
- a sensory play space with timber xylophone, chimes, and voice tubes
- sheltered picnic areas and an accessible amenities block
- parking for 15 vehicles, including accessible spaces
- native tree planting, garden beds, and revegetation areas.
