Residents living in one of the most densely populated areas of Australia can now enjoy an off-leash dog area, picnic tables, and great green open space just a stone’s throw from their doorstep.
The new park has opened following 2 weeks of work to remove perimeter fencing and establish the first amenities.
People can access the park from Dacey Avenue and South Dowling Street with access from Reschs Bridge expected to be enabled before the end of July.
Making the most of the new park, picnic packages are available for purchase from the club house, a coffee cart will be onsite from 7am to 10am every day and a run club will begin this week, organised out of the Toll House.
Further events and programs to be rolled out to inviting people to explore the new park.
Work is continuing to deliver the park’s full design, including community sporting facilities, walking, running and cycling paths, and trails alongside a 12-hole golf course.
For the most substantial upgrades and additions to the park, construction is expected to be completed by 2028, while the new golf offer is expected to be completed in 2027.
The community will be kept updated on access changes at Moore Park South throughout construction.
Once complete the new public park and updated golf course will include:
- a nature playground
- new pathways for running, walking and cycling
- a full-size community sports field
- multi-purpose sports courts and outdoor fitness equipment
- large areas of parkland for people to picnic and relax
- new amenities such as toilets, picnic tables and seating, space for food kiosks and lighting
- expanded 90-bay driving range
- 18-hole mini golf course

Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Paul Scully said:
“Moore Park South is entering a new era as the backyard for thousands of people and their furry friends in one of the country’s most densely populated areas.
“People can now enjoy the first features of the 20 hectare park, including an off-leash dog area, picnic tables and even a visiting coffee cart.
“Over the coming weeks and months the Government will continue to enhance this new 20 hectare park with new paths and facilities while delivering a new golf offering, which includes a 12 hole course.
“The Minns Labor Government is making sure the thousands of people that call Sydney’s eastern suburbs home have a place to play sport, enjoy time outdoors, walk the dog or, play a round of golf close to home.”
