March 2024 Update

Partial Closure

Safety issues surrounding the nets at the driving range have caused significant delays in opening some areas of Hudson Park to the public. Council takes the safety of residents and visitors seriously, and as such has been conducting a thorough investigation into the best way forward to ensure the safety of park users now, and into the future. To that end, the poles and nets of the driving range will be replaced, and the aim is for works to begin later in 2024.

Council understands this delay may be disappointing for the community; however, safety must be the priority.

Please be assured Council is using its best efforts to open this area of the park as soon as practicable.

In the meantime, Council has 3 other dog parks, and several other hard courts that can be utilised by residents:

Dog Parks

Elliott Reserve
Allen Street Reserve
Bressington Park

Hard Courts

Bark Huts
Strathfield Park
Ismay Reserve
