New Bank Street Pop-up Park coming soon

We're excited to let you know that a new temporary park is coming soon to the Blackwattle Bay Precinct.

The Bank Street Pop-up Park will give the local community early access to the precinct while the longer-term Bank Street Park progresses through the planning process.

The Pop-up Park features include: 

  • Basketball half-court

  • Fitness equipment

  • Line-marking games (hopscotch, handball)

  • Areas for child-friendly scooting

  • Seating zones

  • Native plantings

  • Perimeter fencing for safety

The Pop-up Park will be located within the portion of public land where the future Bank Street Park will be located, at 5-19 Bank Street, Pyrmont. It measures approximately 19m wide along Bank St, and 43.5m along the western boundary adjacent to the existing Blackwattle Bay Marina building.

We look forward to sharing progress updates and news about the park in the coming weeks.

Bank Street Park project update

Following the Phase 2 community consultation in March this year, our Bank Street Park design consultants are progressing the Preferred Concept Plan for the park. Community consultation provided valuable feedback in how the park design should progress.  

Consultation in March this year presented three design concepts that built on what we heard from Phase 1 consultation in August 2022. The survey responses indicated a clear preference towards Concept 3, and comments from the survey, drop-in sessions, school engagements, and emails have been reviewed. 

With lodgment to the Department of Planning and Environment planned for later this year, we look forward to sharing the Preferred Concept Design with you in the coming months.  Until then, we will be progressing the design in consultation with the State Design Review Panel.
