About us

Greater Sydney Parklands is a NSW Government agency dedicated to managing some of Greater Sydney’s most iconic urban parklands.

As a city-wide parks agency, we advocate for the NSW Government’s 50-Year Vision for Greater Sydney’s Open Space and Parklands (PDF 3.3 MB). Our vision is to create ‘a city of connected parklands’ by taking a metropolitan planning view while embracing a local perspective.

We partner with local communities and councils to understand and protect the natural and cultural heritage that makes each park unique. We balance this with the needs of our diverse and growing park communities and work to improve the city’s green space and parklands.

We have a seat at the table when major decisions are made that shape how Greater Sydney grows and changes, acknowledging the importance of connected parklands to a global city. Our advocacy across government means that open space and parklands are considered alongside transport, utilities and housing, all of which are critical to making Sydney a great place to live, work and visit.

The Greater Sydney Parklands Estate

The iconic parks that form the parklands estate are, from west to east:

Fernhill Estate
Western Sydney Parklands
Parramatta Park (including Wistaria Gardens)
Callan Park
Centennial Parklands (Centennial, Moore and Queens parks).

We want to enhance the value of each of these parks while retaining their distinctive qualities. This will give the people of Greater Sydney diverse options and experiences along with consistent and best-practice policy, advocacy and park management.
