About Buruwan Park
Origins and Trees at Buruwan Park
Buruwan Park was created around 1995, when Gordon Road was converted to park and pockets of land owned by Sydney Water and Sydney Trains were connected. The park sits beside White's Creek, which gives it a waterside setting. Many mature trees grow in Buruwan Park, the standout being an outstanding Fig Tree. Since then, volunteers and Council contractors have introduced and cared for local provenance plants.
2019 Road Widening Threat to Buruwan Park
In 2019, Transport NSW proposed widening the Crescent, a plan that would have destroyed Buruwan Park. The widening was part of the environmental impact statement for Stage 3 of WestConnex in 2017, and later road plans for the Rozelle Interchange were included in the Western Harbour Tunnel plans. A fig tree in the park was marked for destruction, and a rally for Buruwan Park was held on 15 February 2019.
