Sturt Park, Telopea

Located next to Telopea Public School, Sturt Park is a busy, genuinely well-used community park that works hard for locals. It’s a true multi-purpose space, with clearly separated zones for different ages and activities, which makes it easy for families to spread out while still staying together.

The park is best known for the popular Telopea Skate Park, but there’s much more here than skating. Between the sports facilities, play areas and open green space, it’s a park where you can pop in briefly or settle in for a long afternoon. 

   

What you’ll find at Sturt Park:

  • A large, popular skate park used by scooters, skateboards and BMX
  • A full-size basketball court plus a multi-use court set up for activities like table tennis and badminton
  • Football oval and expansive open grass areas
  • A looped path that runs around the central grassed play area, perfect for bikes, scooters and laps
  • Outdoor gym equipment for casual workouts

Playground zones:

  • A dedicated toddler area with age-appropriate equipment
  • A separate area for bigger kids, including a large wave-style climbing structure
  • A flying fox that is a clear highlight for primary school-aged kids

Facilities and amenities:

  • BBQs and picnic tables suitable for casual gatherings
  • Plenty of park benches throughout
  • Public toilets on site
  • Water fountains for bottle refills
    

Why it works so well:

The park is thoughtfully laid out, with different zones so toddlers, teens and adults can all use the space comfortably at the same time. The mix of active sport, skating, playgrounds and relaxed picnic areas makes it especially good for families with children of different ages. It’s busy and social, but not overwhelming or intimidating.

Sturt Park is a solid, practical Parramatta park that locals genuinely use and rely on. Whether you’re heading there for skating, sport, a playground visit or a relaxed BBQ, it’s a well-equipped spot that covers a lot of bases.
