About Haydon Park
Ball Games at Haydon Park
Haydon Park has open space suited to rugby and soccer, which makes it a practical spot for a casual kickabout with friends or family. Shaded trees at Haydon Park offer spectators somewhere to sit out of the sun and watch. Players can rest under the trees between games while others keep playing, so the park works for both players and onlookers.
Stormwater Detention Basin at Haydon Park
Haydon Park operates as dual-purpose open space that also acts as a stormwater detention basin, so the land serves as both recreation ground and infrastructure for managing runoff. Haydon Park is part of the Rosemeadow demonstration project, which includes an investigation study on how trees can be planted in this type of dual-purpose space. Its role in the project makes Haydon Park a point of interest for urban greening and stormwater design.
