From WCC
We are still in the early stages of the Ian Galloway Park Project. The first step in our process is to undertake early pre-design engagement with key stakeholder groups in March. This will involve representatives from a range of parties including Capital BMX, dog park users, sports groups, other park users, leaseholders, residents' association reps etc. Stakeholder groups will receive details of the pre-design engagement shortly. Following this, wider community engagement on a draft design for the park will be undertaken in June 2025.
The project aims to work with the community and sport clubs to shape a shared vision for the future of Ian Galloway Park, and the neighbouring open spaces of Appleton Park and Wilton Park. The plan will guide future investment in the park and its facilities/assets over the next 20 years, by both the Council and the community.
Please note that the mooted relocation of the fenced dog park to enable the development of a new pump track is a proposal being advocated by Capital BMX – it is not a Council proposal, but it will have to be worked through as part of the project’s consultation and engagement process.
Project timelines:
Focused pre-design engagement, stakeholder groups: March 2025
Draft design and wider community engagement: April-June 2025
Plan completed (indicative): July 2025
Implementation: 2026 onwards
I encourage you to submit your feedback on the plan through the community engagement in June 2025. You can find further information and updates on the project via the webpage -
