Bicentennial Park
Home to the Darwin Cenotaph, Bicentennial Park is one of the most popular green spaces in the CBD. Its lush green surrounds overlook the harbour creating picturesque views.
It’s a popular spot for locals and tourists with a great network of shared paths for walking and cycling.
Turf Restoration Work
- Bicentennial Park needs vital rehabilitation work in some areas.
- The main area affected is Area 2 (see below highlighted section between Peel & Knuckey Streets) which is about ¼ of the park.
- Increased watering schedule has been in place for the past few weeks but further works are required.
- Spray grass will be applied to the area (from Tuesday 9 July). Additional watering will be required to keep spray grass from drying out on many times throughout the day.
- Fencing will protect the area.
- Works commence next week, 8 July and are expected to take 4-6 weeks.
- Council apologises for any inconvenience. Some events booked into area 2 have been moved to other areas in the park.
