FIRST NATIONS PARK DESIGN UNVEILED FOR BARANGAROO

Harbour Park at Barangaroo
A First Nations-led design for Harbour Park at Barangaroo has been revealed, which will create a regenerated natural retreat in the heart of the city.

Harbour Park will feature 1.85 hectares of open space and will become a place where people can explore, play, rest, discover and reconnect to nature, alongside Sydney’s iconic harbour.

First Nations-led and Sydney based design team AKIN’s vision for the park features nature play for all ages and abilities, an event lawn for hosting community and cultural events with up to 6000 people, public art installations, winding pathways to explore, extensive native planting and interactive water features.

The AKIN team is comprised of Yerrabingin, Architectus, Jacob Nash Studio, Studio Chris Fox and Flying Fish Blue, with Arup as engineering consultants.

Yerrabingin co-founder Christian Hampson, on behalf of AKIN’s family of designers and artists, said: “We are incredibly honoured and humbled to be part of such a defining public project, weaving together the threads of landscape, art, and architecture.

“For us, this is much more than a park – it's a place for us to celebrate an enduring culture and to move with Country, acknowledging and experiencing our collective past and present while dreaming of our future. This design is a new chapter connected to the most ancient of stories, carved in the Sydney sandstone: the story of Country and of us, its people.”
