The Greenhouse Café upgrade

Greater Sydney Parklands is committed to balancing the different needs of recreational, sporting, cultural and community users of our parks while providing quiet and reflective places and the amenities people need and value.

The popular The Greenhouse Café will undergo an upgrade, mostly internally, to provide better facilities and services for our park visitors. The Café will still be operational, with a reduced menu in the main building and provision of a temporary mobile located in front of the building deck area on weekends to help meet demand. Works are now complete (as of 8 July 2022) and the cafe is operating business as usual.

  • Location: Fearnley Grounds, Grand Drive (near the Darley Street entrance) Centennial Parklands.
