Rymill Park Upgrade

Rymill Park / Murlawirrapurka is undergoing a coordinated series of upgrades to improve safety, accessibility, and sustainability while preparing the park for future community use and events.

Current works include path and lighting upgrades, irrigation system replacement, stormwater rehabilitation along Botanic Creek, and kiosk electrical improvements. Together, these projects will help reverse damage caused by large-scale events, enhance the park’s resilience, and support year-round activation.

This investment ensures Rymill Park remains a safe, inclusive, and vibrant destination for everyone - whether you're visiting for a walk, picnic, play, or festival.

Island and Path Upgrade - June to September 2025

We're upgrading the island and surrounding paths to improve safety, accessibility and comfort for all park users. Works will include new lighting and regraded paths, providing easier access for more people, more of the time.

Lighting Upgrade – Completed June 2025
New lighting has been installed between the playground and Dequetteville Terrace, making Rymill Park more welcoming and safer for visitors after dark.

Botanic Creek Rehabilitation – Completed June 2025
We’ve restored the watercourse within Rymill Park as part of our commitment to urban water management and biodiversity. The works will improve stormwater quality and strengthen the park’s natural systems.

Irrigation Upgrade

Community input has consistently emphasised the importance of upgrades to Rymill Park. These works are a direct response to that feedback and will help create a safer and more vibrant environment for all.
