Sydney Park is a popular dog-walking venue.

Nice to see this "built in dog bowl" for poochie refreshments.

Sydney Park AIDS Memorial Grove

Within Sydney Park are several groves of trees which have been planted as a living memorial to those who have died of HIV/AIDS.

From the SPAIDS website:

"Community groups were encouraged to plant Australian native species of trees, and SPAIDS was supported by Council in 1994 at its first planting on 15 May 1994.

"Individuals who were carers of people with HIV/AIDS felt the need for a living memorial to those who had died from the disease, so Council was approached to set aside a section of this new park project for this purpose. Council agreed. At the time the Council was organizing three plantings a year in order to accelerate growth of trees.

"SPAIDS persisted with Council and plantings, and by 2008, SPAIDS had had 33 plantings and planted over 8000 trees and commemorated over 1200 people."

Sydney Park

Sydney Park, in the inner southern suburb of St Peters is a new-ish park. It is built on a former brick pit and waster disposal site. It's not yet 20 years old, and looking good.

I've shown various pictures of the park before , especialy the northern end with the brick chimneys, and the lookouts. In the southern end, there's this impressive wetland area.
