Mary Crescent Reserve (Closed)
Posted: 01/06/2020 Closing Date: 31/12/2021 05:00 PM
The Our Park, Our Place project at Mary Crescent Reserve is a collaborative project aimed at reconnecting people with nature in their neighbourhood.
It has a strong focus on working together with local governments in some of Perth’s most heat-stressed areas to enhance the wellbeing of residents. One park (on the traditional lands of the Noongar people) has been chosen in each local government area of Bassendean, Bayswater, Belmont and Canning. At each park, we are working with local residents to create cool green places by introducing more planting and trees to enhance existing green spaces.
Throughout the project the Community will be invited to have their say about how they use the park and its facilities and what they best think will benefit the community. There will be community planting projects, workshops and a focus on sustainability and water wise programs, we will retain all the current uses of the park including the playground and as a space for dog walking. You can participate by coming along to the events and workshops, having your say on the surveys and letting us know what you expect of a community space.
The concept design and planting palette, developed in consultation with the community, can be viewed on the Greening Australia website.
