Thirlmere Sportsground and Memorial Park

A 10 Year Vision - Creating Active and Vibrant Spaces


Wollondilly Shire Council is preparing a Master Plan for Thirlmere Memorial Park and Thirlmere Sportsground.

Valuable input from stakeholders and the community has helped shape the vision, principles, and design options for these two sites.

The vision for Memorial Park and Thirlmere Sportsground Master Plan is to create an active and vibrant green spine that unites the heart of Thirlmere Village and provides for the social and recreational needs of the community.

This is supported by four principles:

  1. Enhance the open spaces along Oaks Street to create a continuous and vibrant spine through the heart of Thirlmere village
  2. Celebrate what makes each site unique and maintain the village character
  3. Optimise the use of space across both sites for maximum community benefit
  4. Improve accessibility and inclusion across and between the sites.

The design options focus on creating active and vibrant spaces for the community to use and love. We are seeking community feedback about these options to help us develop the final Master Plan for both sites.

The Master Plan will set the vision for the next 10 years, enabling Council to apply for grants and allocate funding to undertake upgrades in a planned and co-ordinated manner. Please note the options are for the ‘big picture’, focused on the big opportunities and overall structure of each site. Details about exact activities and playground equipment will be considered in future design stages.


Memorial Park – The Heart of Thirlmere

Memorial Park is highly valued by the community for a wide range of reasons. As some people told us, it’s the heart of Thirlmere. Three options have been developed, which offer a range of scenarios including retaining, re-configuring or relocating the tennis courts. There are also opportunities to improve connections for pedestrians between the park, shops and rail museum, and upgrades to the Oaks Street parking areas.


Thirlmere Sportsground – A Range of Opportunities

Thirlmere Sportsground presents a wide range of opportunities. Our two design options seek to activate as much of the site as possible. In particular, in line with the Master Plan's vision and principles, a key focus is on revitalising the village and creating more activation along Oaks Street.

How Your Feedback Will be Used

Your feedback will be used to help finalise the Master Plan, which will be reported to Council for adoption. Your participation is valuable to us and we appreciate your time.
