NSW Dixon Park Escarpment Lookout Tour

Adam Cook from City of Parramatta and James Stoddart from Glascott will be leading this tour of Dixon Park Escarpment Lookout, where Parramatta’s recent upgrade has transformed the once under-used reserve into a vibrant must-see destination.

Perched high on the escarpment opposite Parramatta Quay, Dixon Park offers a dramatic cantilevered platform where residents and visitors can take in sweeping views of the city skyline and the ever-changing Parramatta River.

Thanks to a $1.4 million upgrade, the reserve now stands as a lively and inviting destination. The revitalisation includes new pathways, seating, feature gardens, and bushland planting, creating a vibrant and welcoming public space.

Refreshments will be served.

Thank you to NSW Partner Glascott for supporting this event.

Please note event time zone is set to (UTC+10:00) Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney. Please check your local time to account for any daylight saving changes or regional differences.
