Now in the 21st century, Centennial Parklands (comprising Centennial Park, Moore Park and Queens Park) is one of the most valuable legacies in this dynamic international city of ours.

Today it is truly "the people's park" which earlier generations had hoped it would be. People of all ages and cultures gather here to celebrate, to relax, and to play. Like our community, the Parklands has grown and changed, but welcomes everyone who respects and cares for it.

The Centennial Parklands Foundation needs your support

Seven LeavesIf you’ve spent any time in the Parklands recently, you might think all’s well. But the worrying fact is that many of the trees are in decline. Age, drought, poor soils, root compaction and the pressures of the urban environment have severely stressed many of the Parklands trees.

Our current assessment is that up to 60% of the Parklands’ 15,000 trees will need to be replaced over the next forty years.

It costs a lot of money to replace a tree. Many species need to be ordered years ahead and grown to a significant size before they can be transplanted.

We need to act now to ensure that visitors to Centennial Parklands in ten or twenty years do not see a landscape sadly diminished by the loss of major trees. Instead, we want to ensure they find the Parklands flourishing with new growth as the trees we plant today reach maturity and replace the ageing giants.

Support the Foundation to ensure these Parklands are here for future generations to enjoy.

There are many ways that Friends of Centennial Parklands can help care for, and preserve these wonderful Parklands - and we like to encapsulate it in "the seven most beautiful leaves in Centennial Parklands".
