New boardwalk and viewing deck at Western Sydney Parklands

We’re building a new boardwalk around Grey Box Gum Dam near Lizard Log in Western Sydney Parklands.

 

We’re building a new boardwalk around Grey Box Gum Dam near Lizard Log in Western Sydney Parklands.

The timber boardwalk and viewing deck will replace the current boardwalk which is no longer fit-for-purpose and provide park users with an improved space for recreation.  

Grey Box Gum Dam is a freshwater ecosystem near Lizard Log playground and is a popular feature in our education programs.

The new boardwalk will provide better access to the dam and allow us to reintroduce hands-on education activities like dip netting.

The area will be closed to the public from 4 August 2025 and the new boardwalk open from mid-October 2025.

Work will take place Monday to Friday between 7am to 5pm, weather permitting.
