Plans for a unique new park in Jordan Springs been given the go ahead.
As identified in the Lendlease masterplan, work on the multi-million dollar ‘Village Park’ has taken its first steps towards completion after getting the tick of approval from Penrith City Council.
The new park is expected to cost just over $4 million and will be constructed near both Wianamatta Parkway and Cadet Circuit in the east of Jordan Springs and is planned to supplement the Village Centre also being planned for the area.
The 1.22-hectare park will have a range of unique amenities once built, including a community activation shelter at its centre, a multifunctional kick-about lawn, tiered amphitheatre and a rain garden.
The community activation shelter will be a largely open structure with a small kitchen area, BBQ area, toilets and a stage designed for everyday use, to be hired out and for community events.
The approved Village Park is being constructed by developer Lendlease with Head of NSW Communities Brendan O’Brien saying it will work to encourage residents to get outdoors.
“The Village Park will be located adjacent to the future Village Centre, and be a central activity hub for [the] Jordan Springs community,” O’Brien said.
“It will become a meeting point for residents and visitors and encourage families to keep active outdoors.
“Together with the community activation shelter, they have been designed to meet the needs of residents, community groups and visitors for an active lifestyle and community events.”
A construction date is yet to be set.
