About the Parklands
Set in the heart of Western Sydney, The Western Sydney Parklands contain world class sporting facilities, popular picnic areas, a full length cycle/walking track and native bushland. Covering 5,280 hectares, the Parklands stretch 27 kilometres from Quakers Hill to Leppington and are twenty five times the size of Centennial Park.
The Western Sydney Parklands are part of the NSW Government's new vision for contemporary, urban living in Western Sydney and are the perfect place to spend the day with family and friends - all without leaving your own backyard.
The NSW Government has established the Western Sydney Parklands Trust to be responsible for managing and developing the Parklands.

People in the Parklands
Western Sydney Parklands has, for the second consecutive year, received a grant from the NSW Catchment Management Authority for our volunteer bush regeneration program.
The Trust is delighted with the funding as it means our monthly volunteer program can continue for another year.
On the last Sunday of every month, volunteers meet in the Parklands to plant trees. This is an important part of our goal to restore an extra 1,000 ha of native bushland within the Parklands. So far, our wonderful volunteers co-ordinatored by Conservation Australia, have planted 4,700 trees!
We are always looking for more volunteers, so if you would like to find out more infomation, please send us an email, enquiries@wspt.nsw.gov.au
