New Booking system supports fairer use of North Sydney's parks
North Sydney's new park booking system is live, balancing commercial use and large gatherings with free casual access. The system aims to manage limited open space as demand grows, particularly in Crows Nest and St Leonards, where open space per person is projected to fall. From 2027, commercial operators and large groups will pay fees, with revenue funding maintenance. Casual use remains free, and the system launched on 6 October 2026.
