About
Friends of Light Street Park (Inc) is a not for profit community led association. We are a group of your neighbours keenly interested in seeing Light St Park rejuvenated, enhanced, and maintained as an important community space to support an active, engaged and inclusive community for all.
We believe in the power of connection and are committed to creating opportunities for people of all ages to come together. Join us in our mission to create this vibrant community.
Friends of Light St Park (Inc). plans to be a voice in the design, horticultural, conservation, and maintenance activities in Light St Park.
​
We will consult and liaise with stakeholders, including the Urban Parks and Places section of Transport Canberra & City Services in relation to its activities, and we will seek support and funding for those activities.
​
We will engage with the community in the Light Street precinct to consult on, garner support for, and secure resources for the activities of the Association.

Initial Concept Plan
To start the conversation about ideas for our park, we have developed a Park Concept Plan (see below) - a vision for the community. This is just to start the ball rolling to encourage ideas to flow.
Some ideas thus far:
-
Upgraded children’s playground to make it safe, inclusive, and accessible to all.
-
A dedicated nature play area for children.
-
A community sensory garden that is inclusive and accessible to all ages, the young, and not so young.
-
A mural applied to the Telstra Exchange building facing the playground to beautify the area and better connect the building to the vision of the park.
