Kambah District Park

European heritage

The savannah woodland area was previously a rural property known originally as ‘Sulwood’. At the turn of the century, it had become known as Kambah and is believed to have been operated as an outstation by the Campbells of Yarralumla until 1913 when purchased by the Commonwealth. The name is possibly of Aboriginal origin.

The park was developed in the 1970s to provide for a wide range of activities for all age groups, particularly young families. Development on the western side of Village Creek included conversion of the woolshed area into a group picnic area, new tennis courts and clubhouse (leased), adventure playground and toilet block.
