New vegetation not only created a cooler, more appealing space for the community but also treats stormwater runoff into the nearby Hunter Water channel. New trees and grasses were arranged as island plantings above the floodplain of the watercourse to complement a future dog park and cycleway running through the park.

Planting dates: To be completed by April, 2021
