Bella Vista District Park 

Bella Vista District Park will be a premier, family-friendly destination for the whole community.

Located near the North-West Metro line, the park will provide shaded spaces for nature-based recreation, community gatherings, and inclusive, accessible play.

The three-hectare park celebrates the site's Cumberland Plain Woodland, restoring and enhancing local biodiversity. It will feature a central community green, an amphitheatre and welcoming places for people to gather, play, and enjoy nature.

The park is funded through the NSW Government's $300 million Parks for People – Transport Oriented Development (TOD) program with the land provided under the Sydney Metro Northwest Places Program (a partnership between Landcom and Sydney Metro).

The Parks for People – TOD program is part of the NSW Government's $520 million TOD Accelerated Precinct investment to help deliver critical road upgrades, active transport links and high-quality public open spaces.

Bella Vista District Park is designed as a playful destination for everyone. Children can climb, splash and explore in shaded, comfortable play spaces. Young people have room to be active and social, and families can enjoy long visits under shade.

Proposed key features include:

• a community green bordered by open woodland, suitable for casual ball games and community events
• family-friendly play zones
• adventure playground and forest-themed play area
• interactive waterplay for cooling off on warm days
• spaces for casual sport and active play.

The Bella Vista District Park project will restore native grasslands and woodland to create cool, shady places to walk, explore and relax.

Proposed key features include:

• regenerated grasslands, celebrating the original character of the local landscape
• shaded walking paths, boardwalks, elevated trails and wetlands
• trees that will grow to create significant canopy and shade and provide shelter for people and habitat for local wildlife
• shelters and shade structures for year-round enjoyment
• irrigation systems to support a healthy park through changing weather conditions.

First Nations learning opportunities are embedded throughout the landscape, while terraced seating and quiet pockets provide comfortable spaces for reflection.

Proposed key features include:

• an amphitheatre for small performances with nearby picnic spaces
• terraced lawns and quiet gathering areas
• culturally enriched spaces informed by Traditional Knowledge to support learning and reflect Connection to Country principles
• a network of accessible paths and walking trails, winding through shaded groves, linking key play and gathering areas.
