Urban Parks

Urban parks in Canberra include town parks, district parks and neighbourhood parks.

These parks provide:

• pedestrian parkland for movement within and between suburbs
• semi-natural open spaces such as creek corridors, hilltop areas, ridges and buffer areas
• native grassland or woodland sites for endangered plant species
• major road verges and medians
• non-irrigated open dryland grass areas for informal sport and recreational use
• large open spaces for recreational activities or sporting events
• strong design linkages to Canberra’s early planning and construction

Urban parks and open spaces are managed by the ACT Government.
