February Update

7 February 2024

We're pleased to share our latest update on Charles Heath Reserve Community and Play Space.

Works are progressing well and the project is on track for completion in mid-2024.

You may have noticed our new play towers have now been installed. There are two play towers, one for younger and one for older kids, which feature climbing nets, slides, and more. We will continue to install the remaining play equipment over the next few months.

We are also excited to welcome accomplished, large-scale mural artist Fintan Magee to the site later this month, who will create an artwork that shares the story of Five Dock, inspired by the stained-glass windows of Aeolian churches.

Would you be interested in an early look at the reserve?
We're on the lookout for local community members, especially kids, to take part in a progress photo on-site! Please email media@canadabay.nsw.gov.au with the subject line, 'Charles Heath Reserve Photo', your name and general availability. We are happy to work around your availability.
