Residents have a new park to visit in the Camden area, with Council recently completing the Arcadian Hills Passive Park.

Cobbitty’s new park includes paths, seating, garden areas, public artwork and the original path and gates leading to the historic Denbigh property.

Mayor of Camden, Cr Theresa Fedeli, said the park provides a great connection between the modern suburb and its historical significance.

“It is important to provide open green space for residents whilst also paying tribute to the history of the area and this park is a great example of that,” Cr Fedeli said.

“The park includes a number of art elements showing aspects of pre-European settlement in the area as well as a fantastic place for kids to play or simply enjoy the fresh Camden air.

“I encourage local parents to get out and educate their families on the area’s history and also enjoy the new park.”

The park cost more than $700,000 and is located on Olive Hill Drive at Arcadian Hills, Cobbitty.

Council also recently completed upgrades to five playgrounds in the Camden area as part of its Infrastructure Renewal Program, including:

• Manna Gum Reserve, Narellan Vale;
• Little Reserve, Camden;
• Eastlewood Reserve, Narellan;
• Solander Reserve, Mount Annan; and
• Harrington Park Reserve, Harrington Park.
