01. INTRODUCTION

Consistent with national trends in changing recreation, within the City of Parramatta area, the community’s use of recreation facilities has continued to evolve. The need for quality recreation spaces to meet the needs of the City’s diverse communities remains consistent, therefore recreation opportunities must also evolve over time. There is a particular need to address the accessibility needs of our aging population.

In reviewing future community needs, there may be opportunities to upgrade those open space parcels which offer limited recreational uses to the community, in this case Sue Savage and Reynolds Parks.

This master plan outlines a future vision and working plan for the park to establish it as a unique and important recreation destination for the local area.

The vision is to create a dynamic and engaging park that optimises the potential of the rich local history, unique setting, intriguing topography, as well as satisfying a wide variety of social and recreational opportunities.

Recreation and casual sporting uses will be embedded into the park and provide a diverse range of structured and informal recreation opportunities, catering for increasing demand. The park will continue to develop a strong ecological framework strengthening its contribution to the regional green grid and the ecological value this represents. SUE SAVAGE PARK
