Sydney Parks Group
The Sydney Parks Group (formerly known as the Sydney Urban Parks Education and Research (SUPER) Group) was established in 1998 to provide a strategic integrated approach to urban park research in Sydney.
As cities such as Sydney continue to grow, the value of parks as recreation and leisure spaces will become increasingly important. The role of bodies such as the Sydney Parks Group will also become more important in determining how these parks are managed for the future needs of the community.

Projects
Since its inception the Sydney Parks Group has been involved in a number of groundbreaking research projects which have made a valuable contribution to the planning and management of urban parks. Some Sydney Parks Group research reports are available for sale.
The Sydney Parks Group has also developed a standard core set of questions for use in all park visitor surveys. This questionnaire is available online to both members and non-members and we encourage all Parks to adopt this standard survey questions in order to achieve industry-comparable data.
