The design of the park aims to provide connection to nature; be safe, welcoming and accessible; celebrate Subiaco’s character, and provide an exemplar design for the future that is sustainable, shady and cool.
Features within the park design include a grassy area to sit, new seating, Australian native plantings, new trees and garden beds, a drink fountain, a bird watering station, and new pathways for the community to travel to it and through it.
Mayor David McMullen said, “Community engagement plays a vital part in any substantial project within our City. It was great to see so many people participate in either online or in-person survey opportunities for the pocket park in late 2024.
“As a result, the park design clearly represents our community’s priorities, helping the City to deliver a park that will be a welcoming and sustainable addition to our existing network of parks, gardens, and green spaces.”
Completion of the park is expected in summer 2025/26.
During the construction period, some areas along Bagot Road (including the southern footpath) may be impacted. Please follow directional signs throughout the area.
