Blacktown City Council National Tree Day at Stanhope Gardens

Join family, friends, or come solo for a fun, hands‑on day caring for our local environment. Together, we’ll plant around 2,000 native plants to create habitat for local wildlife and provide shade to reduce urban heat. All plants have been grown in our own nursery using seeds collected from nearby bushland, supporting local biodiversity and strengthening our community’s connection to nature.

DIRECTIONS

Event access is via Blacktown Leisure Centre, 2 Sentry Drive, Stanhope Gardens. Signposted parking is available in the southern overflow car park.
