Traditionally, Victoria Park/Barrambin is a meeting and gathering place for Indigenous groups travelling through the area, as well as a cultural site for corroboree, dance, hunting and fishing.
As part of the Victoria Park/Barrambin Masterplan, it is set to become a natural retreat, an urban oasis for adventure, discovery, and reconnection. By expanding the city’s active transport network and promoting sustainable travel, the park will also feature green transport infrastructure aimed at reducing car traffic.
Victoria Park/Barrambin will also serve as a vital urban link, connecting the park to its neighbours and the wider community, offering more travel options for everyone.
