Harbour Park

At the heart of Central Barangaroo is the Harbour Park. Measuring 1.85 hectares in size, it will be a place for everyone to gather on Sydney’s foreshore.

The Harbour Park will build on our commitment to ensure more than half of Barangaroo is public open space. It sits on the harbour’s edge within Central Barangaroo. Bound by Barangaroo Avenue to the east, Sydney Harbour and Wulugul Walk to the west, Nawi Cove to the north and Crown Resort to the south.

Harbour Park objectives

  • Achieve world class design excellence
  • Acknowledge and respect the Aboriginal connections to this place
  • Deliver an enduring framework for the use of harbour park
  • Seek opportunities to maximise public space that is flexible and equitable
  • Create a place that welcomes all
  • Integrate Harbour Park into the constellation of public open spaces that define Sydney and its harbour

Staged process

The planning, design and delivery of Harbour Park is a staged process:

​Community consultation

Stakeholder and community feedback was sought to help prioritise objectives and opportunities. This feedback was built into the design brief.

One of our key engagement activities asked the public to "design your Harbour Park" using the touchscreens in our pop-up container in Watermans Quay. 

Find out what were the top park features and activities.

Design competition

In line with our commitment to design excellence, a design competition was held in 2023 find a design team to deliver the landscape design and integrated artworks.

The winning design is by AKIN, a Sydney-based design team comprising of Yerrabingin, Architectus, Jacob Nash, Studio Chris Fox, Flying Fish Blue and Arup. 

Planning and Delivery

As part of the design, there will be a planning approval process required. Subject to planning approval, delivery of Harbour Park will take a number of years.
