Peace Park being a park after being locked up for nine months . . .

When is a park not a park?

Three years of fenced off park . . .

: Promises three years old of “Park Renewal”

When is a park not a park?

When it’s Peace Park, Chippendale.

For over three years we’ve watched in growing wonder at the succession of failed attempts to manage the park, in particular to grow traditional grass there.

The latest grass growing effort has seen the park fenced off for some nine months.

If a park is not used for over half the time because it’s being ‘maintained’, does it cease to become a park and take on the character of:

(a) an experiment

(b) a display of incompetence

(d) free entertainment by the Ministry of Silly Parks

(e) all of the above.

What do you think?

May the laughter continue,

Michael Neville, Sydney City Council’s waste officer, is planning to set up in Peace Park from 3.30 – 7.30 next Tuesday evening, 2 March.

Michael can provide advice about worm farms, all types of compost, explain Council policy, discuss your ideas and answer your questions.

Here is a council rolling up its sleeves and working in partnerships with our community.

Michael says, “Anyone welcome for a chat to discuss wasty stuff…particularly compost …”.

Bring him a scone, bake him a cake, offer him something you’ve grown – let’s make him welcome.
