What: Council is planning to enhance the pedestrian pathway at North Epping Oval by adding fitness equipment and creating pedestrian pathways around the oval. These will connect to the adjacent streetscape and link to the bushland trails in Lane Cove National Park, creating a proposed walking loop.

Why: The aim of the project is to provide improved exercise opportunities at North Epping Oval and enhance community access to the regional open space of Lane Cove National Park.

When: The project will be delivered in two stages, depending on the availability of funding. The first stage construction works will be undertaken in mid-2025. The second stage of works, including additional paths around the oval and another fitness station, is subject to future funding.

Funding for the first stage works is provided by the NSW State Government Metropolitan Greenspace Program grant and Hornsby Shire Council.
