As part of the Parks for People program, Council is working with the NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment to provide an amazing new park for Appin.

The community’s input during the first phase of engagement helped to shape a vision for the new park in Appin and guided some of Australia’s best designers and landscape architects to create a draft Concept Design that builds on the rich natural, cultural, and social features of the area.
Guided by what we heard previously, the key features in the draft Concept Design aim to allow the community to engage with and enjoy the rich natural landscape, whilst maintaining and enhancing the local environment and celebrating the local culture of the Dharawal people.
The new park will be located within the 23 ha site that runs alongside Appin Road, less than 1 km north of Appin town centre.
The park will be located on existing pastureland, to create new recreational space while protecting the existing environmental and Aboriginal cultural heritage values of the area.
In 2020, the design team developed a draft Concept Design, based on community values and research, environmental assessments, site appreciation, and on-going discussions with Council and local stakeholders. The community and stakeholder engagement has provided the design team with valuable insights to help finalise the Concept Design.
Further detailed information including project timeline, consultation results, FAQ's, draft concept plan and more can be found on the Department of Planning Appin Park project page.
