Georges River, NSW converts parking lot into pop-up park as part of placemaking strategy

Georges River, NSW Pop-Up Park Lot Placemaking Strategy

Complete

A car park in Hurstville turned into a community space called The Green for a weekend pilot. This pop-up park featured free Wi-Fi, book swaps, and outdoor seating. Council officials added a playground and games to attract families. The Green created an open space in an area with low vehicle ownership, few parks, and concerns about social isolation. Participants were encouraged to fill out surveys to inform future pop-ups as part of the Hurstville Place Strategy.
