The City of Ryde completed the first stage of community consultation in December 2023 to inform the creation of a Masterplan for Brush Farm Park and Lambert Park. Council has carefully considered the feedback received to develop a draft Masterplan for Brush Farm Park and Lambert Park that will guide future improvements and upgrades over the next 20 years.

Council invited our community for a second round of consultation, to share your thoughts on this draft Masterplan and the proposed ideas and suggestions for improving, protecting, and better managing the Parks. Your input will help the City of Ryde to review and update this masterplan to make it more responsive to the diverse needs of our community and the environment.

Where is Brush Farm Park & Lambert Park?

Brush Farm Park and Lambert Park are located on the western side of Eastwood, bound by Lawson Street, Brush Road and Marsden Road. Car park entry is from Lawson Street. There are multiple pedestrian park entry points and walking tracks through the parklands as shown in the map below.

Natural features include established bushland, walking tracks and Archers Creek. Existing sport, recreation and community facilities include a natural turf sportsground, 4 netball hard courts with lighting, a neighbourhood playground, amenities building, community building (licenced by Brush Farm Dog Training Club), community hall (leased by Girl Guides), scout hall (not owned or managed by Council) and a car park.

Why is a Masterplan needed?

Council delivers a wide range of sport, recreation and Natural Areas services through a network of regional, district, neighbourhood and local parklands, sportsgrounds and facilities.

While the network has served the community well for many years, Council recognises that within the context of a rapidly growing and changing area, the roles and functions of our parks and facilities need to be reviewed and updated to meet community and environmental needs.

This Masterplan is being prepared in response to the Sport and Recreation Strategy 2016-2026 (adopted July 2017), with consideration to the Ryde Biodiversity Plan (adopted December 2016), Community Strategic Plan (adopted March 2018), as well as the planning and heritage requirements of the Ryde Local Environmental Plan (2014).
