Silverwater Park reopens
Parramatta's Silverwater Park has reopened featuring separated bike and pedestrian paths, lighting upgrades, foreshore landscaping and a deluxe bicycle repair stand.
 
The park is the first of the three stages of the $28.1 million Duck River Nature Trail project. Once complete, the trail will create a green corridor all the way from Silverwater to the heart of Parramatta.
 
City of Parramatta Lord Mayor Cr Martin Zaiter said: "People are craving more green spaces and we're opening this hidden gem to provide our community and visitors with more opportunities for recreation.
 
"The upgrades at Silverwater Park make walking and cycling safer and more accessible and when all stages are complete, the route will connect the M4 Shared Path to the Parramatta River foreshore paths and our CBD."
 
Parramatta State MP Donna Davis added: "Once completed, this nature trail will unlock a part of our City the community currently has limited access to.
 
"The NSW Government is building better communities by ensuring we invest in the infrastructure to support our fast-growing population."
 
The Duck River Nature Trail project is funded by the NSW Government's Western Sydney Infrastructure Grants Program, Transport for NSW's Get Active NSW Program and the City of Parramatta.
 
The trail is expected to be complete in its entirety in 2028.
