We’re upgrading the final round of neighbourhood parks!

The 2026/27 parks are:

  • Carrington Park, Katoomba
  • Wilson Park, Lawson
  • Batman Park, Springwood
  • Douglas Smith Memorial Park, Glenbrook

Each park will see its play equipment renewed, along with improvements to accessibility, seating and social spaces. Our goal is to create neighbourhood parks that are safe, inclusive and welcoming for people of all ages and abilities.

We’re now asking the community to help shape the upgrades. In this first stage of consultation, we’d like to understand who uses each park, how you use it, what you value about it now, and what you’d like to see in the future.

The survey takes around three to five minutes to complete, and you can skip any questions you don’t want to answer. We’ve included a range of questions because the more you tell us, the better we can understand what this park means to you and what you would like us to consider as we develop the designs.

Choose your park below and have your say!

It’s important to us that everyone can take part and share their feedback in a way that is accessible and comfortable for them. If you, or someone you know, needs any assistance accessing or completing the survey, please call Council on 4780 5000. We’re happy to help in whatever way works best for you, including providing a printed copy, taking your feedback over the phone or in person, or finding another way that meets your needs.

Consultation closes 10 September 2026.

The program is funded by the NSW Government’s Western Sydney Infrastructure Grants (WSIG) Program.
