About the park
George Kendall Riverside Park reopened in October 2024 following a significant investment in improving the 18 ha parkland. Providing access to high quality public open space and a connection to the Parramatta River, the park serves as a retreat for one of Sydney’s fastest growing regions.
The upgrades include a hilltop lookout, off-leash dog park, a learn to ride space, picnic areas, increased parking and a shared path along the Parramatta River Cycleway. The park also includes a constructed wetland for stormwater management, improving water quality outcomes for the Parramatta River and over 300 new trees for shade.
These enhancements create a playful and welcoming environment, meeting the growing demand for open space in Ermington.
