Pender’s Park Vision

Pender’s Park is a significant gathering place for our diverse and changing community. As a major neighbourhood park, it’s a place for play, celebrating, active and passive recreation and connecting with nature.

Pender’s Park Design Principles

Distinctive Identity

Pender’s park is a unique space with a character that everyone recognises and values. The park’s identity is shaped by its indigenous history, heritage design and its culturally diverse community.

Accessible, Equitable and Universal

Pender’s Park is a welcoming and respectful place for everyone to enjoy. The design ensures that anyone can access and use the park and its facilities equitably.

‘Playful’

Pender’s park is a shared space that offers a range of exciting ‘play’ opportunities for adults, children and dogs, while respecting the needs of everyone.

Connection to Nature

In a highly urbanised neighbourhood, Pender’s Park is an oasis of green space for people to connect and experience nature.

Natural and Built Elements

Shade, shelter, lighting, seating and amenities are well designed, constructed and maintained. These elements encourage the community to meet, socialise and provide everyone with a feeling of safety and an enjoyable outdoor experience.

Resilience and Sustainability

The park’s natural and built elements are robust, easy to maintain, and durable for the long-term to support current and future generations.
