About Bungarribee Homestead Park
Heritage Site at Bungarribee Homestead Park
Bungarribee Homestead Park occupies the site of the former Bungarribee House, which was built in the early 1800s and demolished in 1957, after which the house site was kept as parkland. Bungarribee Homestead Park contains archaeological remnants and heritage interpretation, so visitors interested in local history can learn about the homestead while they use the reserve. The park's other name, Bunya Park, comes from a Bunya Pine planted in 2013.
Playground and Picnic Area at Bungarribee Homestead Park
Bungarribee Homestead Park has a playground in the middle of the reserve that is designed for all ages. Around it, the park is a plain grassed space with a BBQ area, tables and seats, which suits relaxed picnics rather than a heavily landscaped setting. Families can combine a meal at the tables with time on the playground, and the walking path offers a stroll after lunch.
Community Garden at Bungarribee Homestead Park
Bungarribee Homestead Park has a community garden with vegetable beds as well as native and flowering plants. The garden uses a drip irrigation system supplied by a rainwater tank, which makes it a working growing space that combines food production with native planting. The garden sits inside the reserve alongside the playground and BBQ area, so community gardening can be part of a family visit.
