New Farm Park is a place of wonderful family memories for many people – it is where many of life’s special moments, big and small, have taken place.
Countless weddings, birthdays, baby showers and engagements have been celebrated on the sprawling green lawns, in the rotunda or among the roses. But just as special are the hours spent by families as they bond over a trip to the playground, a game of soccer or cricket, or a stroll along the riverwalk.
