About Wilga Park
Exercise Mandala and Public Art at Wilga Park
Wilga Park has an exercise mandala, an elevated circular area with a floor mosaic in bright colours. Its surface is resin-bound recycled glass that was tumbled to remove sharp edges, so people can use the mandala for exercise. The mandala, titled Flower, Sun, Moon, Head, was developed by the artists ARTSCAPE alongside Burst, a landmark sculpture about 4 metres tall that expresses movement and energy. Both artworks were installed during the upgrade, so the park's art and its exercise space are the same place.

Wilga Park has an amphitheatre with terracing and concrete seating walls, built as part of the 2019 upgrade. A picnic area at Wilga Park includes a barbecue, and the park has a filtered water station and free Wi-Fi.
