Perry Park is a significant urban renewal project led by the City of Sydney Council, transforming an underutilised site into a vibrant recreational and community space. Adjacent to Green Square, one of Sydney’s fastest-growing precincts, the project responds to local community needs, prioritising accessibility, sustainability and community engagement.
The first two stages, completed in 2021, delivered the Recreation Centre, designed by Candalepas Associates. This facility provides high-quality multi-sports indoor courts, meeting the increasing demand for indoor sports in the area.
The third, completed in 2024 and led by ASPECT Studios, enhanced accessibility, introduced new park lighting, and retained dozens of mature trees while planting additional native species. A FIFA-sized synthetic pitch was delivered, alongside a pavilion by Scale Architecture, with accessible toilets, change rooms, storage, and covered spectator areas.
Perry Park now offers world-class indoor and outdoor facilities that encourage residents to stay connected in Sydney’s evolving urban landscape
Many decades ago, Perry Park was a rubbish tip. We’ve turned it into a sports lover’s dream with world-class indoor and outdoor facilities giving residents and visitors more options to stay active and healthy in Australia’s global city.
These facilities bring real value to our communities, they’re close to public transport, walking and cycling paths. The park is right around the corner from Green Square, which continues to grow into Australia’s most densely populated area.
Active communities are healthy ones and we continue to improve public parks across our area, giving Sydneysiders green spaces to enjoy.
