The Adamstown Park Masterplan was adopted by Council on 31 October 2023. View the final Masterplan and the Engagement Report.

Overview

As part of the CN Strategic Sports Plan (SSP) 2020, a number of recommendations were made relating to Adamstown Park including developing a masterplan to guide the future vision and renewal of infrastructure over the next 10-15 years.

Specific recommendations from the SSP included: improvements to the field layout, drainage, irrigation, lighting layout, playing surfaces, upgrades to amenities for football and cricket, and ensuring infrastructure at Adamstown No.1 sportsground complies with NPL standards.

Stage 1 Works completed

Broadmeadow Magic Junior Football Club has been successful in receiving $1 million in grant funding for Stage 1 works under the Greater Cities and Regional Sport Facility Fund 2021/22. Stage 1 works commenced in February 2023 and are now complete. For more information, see the Stage 1 Works project page.

Adamstown Park Playground completed

As part of our commitment to undertake a staged implementation of the newly adopted Adamstown Park Masterplan, the Adamstown playground was relocated, upgraded and expanded, activating the green space.

New accessible pathways were also delivered to link the Adamstown playground with Glebe Road, while a sheltered picnic table offers visitors and locals seating and shade.

The recreation needs of teenagers and adults who visit this area of Adamstown Park were also catered for with a new basketball court delivered adjacent to the new playground.

The community helped officially open the new play space at Adamstown Park on 21 April 2024.

Why develop a draft Masterplan for Adamstown Park?

CN has prepared a draft Masterplan for Adamstown Park (including Myers Park) with initial consultation with key sporting user groups to ensure that the proposed works are consistent with the long term vision of the park and meet the needs of all user groups. The Masterplan will be implemented in stages over a 10 year period, with approved grant funding works being implemented as Stage 1 from February to July 2023.
