Park now in construction
We are working closely with The Hills Shire Council to create a brand new park in Beaumont Hills. Construction for the park started in July 2023 with estimated completion in February 2024.
Following 3 rounds of community engagement, site studies, technical investigations and design work, the park is now in construction. You can view the final concept design below.
About the park
The new park in Beaumont Hills is shaped by the community’s aspiration for a fun public open space for people of all ages that integrates into the nearby natural elements and built structures.
The final design leverages the community’s enthusiasm for action-based activities including BMX, skate and basketball, and will enrich user experience, urban biodiversity and connectivity.
Parkgoers will be encouraged to explore this climate-positive urban landscape that features dynamic play-spaces for active play and sports, and enhancements to popular existing walking and cycling tracks creating better links to the wider region.

Design process
Step 1
The first step was to find out what can and can’t be done on the site through due diligence studies and consultation with industry and local experts. The top priority was to create a fun, feature-filled place that seamlessly integrated into the surrounding natural and built environment.
Step 2
We sought initial ideas and feedback from the community and key stakeholders to inform the development of a draft concept design for the upgrades.
Step 3
We presented a draft concept design for community feedback and further input before developing more detailed designs for the park. This stage included a design board to allow people to take a closer look at the proposed key features of the park and a survey to capture community priorities and values that needed to be further represented in the final plan.
Step 4
We provided an opportunity for the community to take a detailed look at the final plan for the new park in Beaumont Hills.
