Kenneth Slessor Park
By Umbaco Landscape Architects
Visitors to this steeply overgrown park on the western side of Pacific Highway have struggled to find a usable path and comfortable seats to enjoy the view to the BlueMountains. The space has now been completely transformed with amphitheatre seating and lounges. The lookout has become a popular lunch spot for nearby office workers. A small play area is located at the bottom of the park with a hill slide amongst new plantings. And who is Kenneth Slessor?A well-known Australian poet to whom this park was dedicated. To commemorate his work, five bells gently rocking and singing in the wind bordering the central steps of the site, evoking Slessor’s poem about a sailor’s life.
Five Bells. Five bells coldly ringing out. Five bells.
