The City of Ryde is currently investigating the discovery of asbestos, hydrocarbons, and heavy metals at isolated locations within Blenheim Park, North Ryde. This contamination was identified during routine due diligence testing in preparation for the Blenheim Park Masterplan. See more information below.

In August 2020, the City of Ryde adopted the Blenheim Park Masterplan which included the upgrade and relocation of the dog off-leash area, a new amenities building and a new Regional Playground. 

Regional Playground Upgrade

A new inclusive playground has been designed to ensure that the play space is accessible for people of all abilities and has play opportunities for a broad range of age groups. The new playground responds to the existing natural elements within Blenheim Park and its hidden history. 

As such the playground has a forest and creek theme. It's proposed to have features such as:

  • climbing play
  • tree houses
  • sand play
  • water play
  • swings
  • slides
  • a flying fox
  • trampolines
  • adventure / nature play trail (with crocodiles!)
  • an accessible pathway through the space that will also be a scooter path
  • picnic areas with accessible BBQs and picnic settings

A proposed new amenities building will complement the playground and include accessible toilets, ambulant toilets and change rooms for children that use the water play area.

Dog off-leash Area

The City of Ryde is seeking your input on the draft concept design for the new dog off-leash area which includes:

  • an open grassed area
  • a new shade structure with seating
  • sandstone seating edging to the grassed area
  • new dog agility pieces
