The heart of Bradfield City Centre
The design
The Central Park design offers a beautiful and functional space for visitors, workers, and residents. It is sensitive and supported by innovative technology to best care for the park and its users, adapting to a changing climate and a new, growing city.
The standout design feature of the 2-hectare park is the striking Sky Ring, framing Big Sky Country by day and the stars at night.

Bradfield Central Park is an opportunity to honour Country, celebrate the importance of old and new knowledge... not just for today but with consideration of the next seven generations.
– ASPECT Studios
Celebrating, protecting, and focusing on the sky whilst providing shelter, directing rainwater, and supporting misting water technology systems, the Sky Ring will be the first impression visitors have of Bradfield City Centre as they step from the Metro.
In addition to the Sky Ring, design elements such as the Ephemeral Wetlands, the Gathering Place and the Interwoven Heart, a series of woven shelters creating a connected play experience as well as ongoing artistic practice opportunities for Dharug creatives, are driven by the idea of building a space that will be useable and relevant seven generations from its inception.
