Moore Park South: a new park for the community

A vibrant new park for Sydney with space to exercise, socialise, relax and connect with nature.

A new public park is now open to the community, while works continue to deliver the NSW Government’s vision for Moore Park South. 

Located close to one of Australia’s most densely populated urban areas, Moore Park South provides new open space for the 690,000 people living within 5 kilometres of the park.

While the broader Moore Park South transformation is scheduled for completion in 2028, visitors can already enjoy picnic areas, a temporary dog off-leash area, seating, food and beverage options and a host of recreation activities. 

Once works are completed, Moore Park South will be home to community sports facilities, walking and cycling paths, a nature playground, natural open areas and a revitalised golf offer.
