Hanlon Park Rejuvenation Project, Stones Corner

The Norman Creek 2012-2031 Master Plan identified an opportunity for Hanlon Park in the Stones Corner Precinct to be transformed into an attractive and versatile public space, enhancing connectivity and recreation opportunities for residents, businesses, commuters and visitors.

Construction works have begun and as such the pedestrian and bike path between O’Keefe Street and Cornwall Street will remain closed until late-2021.

Signed detours are in place to assist cyclists and pedestrians.
