Kilpack Park Carlingford

Kilpack Park in Darwin Street, Carlingford is receiving a major upgrade and the works for the playground and park are expected to start from 30 June 2025 and take about 18 weeks to complete (weather permitting).

• Play equipment will be replaced
• Playground safety surfacing will be replaced with new rubber soft fall
• Fitness equipment will be installed to diversify park usage and offer something for adults
• New landscaping is proposed to beautify the park, with low lying areas planted with moisture loving native grasses
• The pathways will be widened to improve connections between streets
• Lighting will be upgraded and extended along all pathways to enhance security in the evenings
• Existing Blue Gum trees will be protected during the changes

Previously Council asked the local community to share ideas and themes for the new play equipment. The plan has now been updated and the proposed play equipment (pictured) will be unique and offer more to challenge older children.

This $1.55m project is proudly funded by the NSW Government's Western Sydney Infrastructure Grants Program in association with City of Parramatta Council.
