Member for Leppington Nathan Hagarty and Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Paul Scully have announced a major new park for Leppington, delivering more open space for families in one of South West Sydney’s fastest-growing communities.
The new park delivered in partnership with Liverpool City Council, transforms almost eight hectares of former pastureland into a vibrant recreational destination in the heart of the South West Growth Area.
This is an example of how the Minns Labor Government is building better communities by delivering quality open space to support around 11,500 new homes and 11,000 jobs over the next 20 years, which were unlocked by the rezoning of Leppington Town Centre.
By delivering high-quality open space alongside housing, we’re making sure residents have access to green spaces and recreation as the precinct develops into a thriving centre for families, workers, and businesses.
Located opposite Forest Memorial Park along Camden Valley Way, the park offers a range of sport- and nature-inspired play spaces for young people, alongside picnic areas and a walking path through grasslands.
Key features include:
- a beginner’s pump track for bikes, skateboards, rollerblades, and scooters
- a paved pathway through grasslands connecting to Camden Valley Way
- a youth hub with a basketball/netball half-court, climbing boulders, and hammock zone
- nature-based play area with sandstone steps, nets, and balance logs for climbing
- inclusive and accessible play equipment, including a slide, basket swing, and spinner
- a sensory play space with timber xylophone, chimes, and voice tubes
- sheltered picnic areas and an accessible amenities block
- parking for 15 vehicles, including accessible spaces
- native tree planting, garden beds, and revegetation areas.
Community events, including free sports and recreational activities, will be held at the new park on Sunday 23 August 2026 and Sunday 30 August 2026 to celebrate its opening.

Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Paul Scully said:
“As Leppington grows into a major new centre for homes and jobs, we’re making sure families have the great public open spaces they need close to home.
“The new park in Leppington transforms almost eight hectares of unused land into a vibrant shared backyard for locals, with walking and cycling trails, play spaces and recreational facilities.
“The Minns Labor Government is not just unlocking thousands of homes and jobs, we’re building the parks, playgrounds and public spaces that make communities great places to live.”
Member for Leppington Nathan Hagarty said:
“Leppington is one of the fastest-growing parts of Sydney, and it’s fantastic to see this incredible new space delivered for local families to enjoy.
“Whether it’s riding the pump track, playing basketball with friends or simply enjoying a picnic outdoors, this park has something for everyone and will become a much-loved gathering place for our community.
“As more people choose to call Leppington home, it’s important we’re delivering the parks and community spaces that help create connected, liveable neighbourhoods from day one.”
Liverpool City Councillor Zeli Munjiza said:
“Residents across South Ward have been crying out for more parks and open space, and this new park delivers exactly that for our growing community.
“As more families move into Leppington and surrounding suburbs, we need to make sure the infrastructure and community spaces they rely on keep pace with that growth.
“I want to thank the NSW Government for investing in our local area and working with Liverpool City Council to deliver this much-needed new park for our residents.”
