Park Involvement
- Community vision and effort inspired this park and saved it from development. A special thanks to the local Town Team FABric, the Attadale Community and Lisa O’Malley MLA for driving and supporting the project to help create this unique and enjoyable space.
- The central section of this park is not irrigated. Instead, we are trialling plants which we hope will survive the summer heat, eventually growing like a meadow for sensory play whilst diversifying ecology.
- Join us now to help care for this park. Watering cans have been left on the site for you to use, fill up a watering can and take a moment to water the plants.
- Keep an eye out for upcoming community planting days
