A new local park has been delivered on behalf of Council as part of Stage 2 of the Avenues of Highfields residential development. Opened to the public in 2018, the park provides an open space for over 1,350 residents expected to call this new residential area home.
Located central to the residential development and accessible from Cronin Road, it is approximately 6500m2 (0.65ha) and feature a playground, paths, kick-about areas, pavilion and established trees.
A request to name this park “Sandy Brennan Park” was received under Council Policy No. 2.06 – Naming and Renaming of Council Assets. Under this policy new park names must adhere to one or more of the following principals:
Be appropriate to the local, indigenous, geographical, environmental or physical character;
Be of verifiable historical or cultural significance;
Be related to the local flora, fauna or landscape;
Be named after a benefactor, eminent person, pioneer or long-term land holder of verifiable significance.
The proposed park name has been requested to honour Mrs Sandy Brennan, a Highfields and Crows Nest community worker and figure. Mrs Brennan, who passed away last year, worked on fundraising projects and events including a campaign to establish a Catholic primary school in Highfields.
