Wimbo Park, NSW

Client: City of Sydney

Category: Public Open Space / Play

Consultant: Sue Barnsley Design

Location: Surry Hills

Country: Gadigal

Completed: 2024

Value: $6.86M

In collaboration with the City of Sydney and Sue Barnsley Design, Regal Innovations has transformed Wimbo Park into a vibrant and expansive urban green space. Stretching from Bourke Street to South Dowling Street, this inner-city park is now three times larger than its predecessor and features more green open spaces and native plants.

Key upgrades include:

  • Increased shade with 49 new native trees and 21 native palms

  • Expanded parkland with less paving and an open lawn

  • Additional casual seating areas

  • A shared zone along Parkham Lane and a new walking path

  • A play area with in-ground trampolines and softfall mounds

  • A fenced buffer separating the park from the light rail

Local heritage elements, such as the Wimbo Paddock Mural and the Stonemasons monument, have been carefully reinstalled. The community's vision for a nature-focused, accessible space has been realised, enhancing both community wellbeing and urban temperature reduction.

Regal Innovations is proud to have played a key role in this project, contributing to a healthier, more engaging urban environment for all to enjoy.
