Hicks Street Park Renewal
Hicks Street Park is getting a refresh.
Located in North Fremantle and tucked within the Northbank Precinct, the Hicks Street Park is a compact green space well-used by local residents. The Place & Projects Team has received capital works funding in the 2024/25 budget to give the existing facilities at Hicks Street Park a tidy refresh. This renewal project will include:
- Replacing an old rocker play element.
- Relocating the existing park benches to create a more inviting space for nature play, and community socialising.
- Incorporating natural elements such as logs, boulders, and native plants into the landscape design to encourage exploration and outdoor activities for children.
The City aims to align the implementation of this upgrade with the scheduled winter planting at Hicks Street Park in June 2025.
Due to the refined budget and types of changes taking place at Hicks Street Park, City officers will mainly inform residents in the surrounding area about the upgrades. You can also review what works will take place via the key documents section of this MySay page.
