On 4th August, excitement filled the air as the community gathered to celebrate the official unveiling of new upgrades at Beecroft Village Green. 

Designed as a multi-purpose open space for play, exercise, recreation, and social gatherings, these enhancements cater to individuals of all ages.

Key features include a basketball half-court, nature play areas with various equipment, and new outdoor exercise machines funded by a Community Building Partnership Grant from the NSW Government. Additional amenities such as BBQ facilities, accessible toilets, and picnic areas ensure that the green is enjoyable for the entire family.

Steven Head, General Manager of Hornsby Shire Council, expressed pride in providing an upgraded facility that preserves the local heritage significance of Beecroft Village Green, established as a reserve in 1886. He envisions the green continuing to serve as a cherished communal space for generations to come.

“We are so proud to provide this upgraded facility for the community so it can continue to be a cherished space for recreation and spending time together for another 100 years,” says Mr Head.

The improvements stem from extensive community consultation involving over 135 locals in 2022, who voiced their preferences for the development of the site. Their input shaped the park's vision and master plan, resulting in a vibrant new gathering spot for the community.
