Biddy Giles Park occupies the site of a 1900's industrial brick pit and was completed in 2020 as the final stage of the South Village development by DEICORP, designed with Scott Carver Landscape Architects. The park is named after Biddy Giles (1810–1888), a Dharawal woman also known as Biyarung, who was a storyteller and knew the land from the south side of the Georges River to Wollongong. The name was chosen in 2024 after community consultation, with 81% of the 2200 submissions in favour.
