About Henderson Park
Parabol Playground at Henderson Park
Henderson Park has Parabol Playground, its children's play area. The playground was built from the adapted TX transmission tower, so its design draws on a piece of broadcast infrastructure rather than ordinary playground equipment. The playground sits within the park's wider open green space, so young children can play while other visitors walk the surrounding lawn and landscaped walkways. Parabol Playground is the park's most distinctive feature, linking its play space to the broadcasting heritage of the former Channel 9 studios.
Landscaped Walkways and Native Planting at Henderson Park
Henderson Park has a network of landscaped walkways that runs through its open green space. Over 70 per cent of the park's planting is native and endemic species, including acacias, banksias, grevilleas, melaleucas, eucalypts, angophoras and lillypillies. Walking these paths puts visitors among Australian bush-style vegetation within a compact urban park in Willoughby.
