The community is invited to have their say on historic City Hill park by drawing or describing their ideas.

The ACT Government is seeking to gather community ideas on how to make City Hill park a more welcoming, comfortable and engaging public space.

The community is invited to have their say on the historic site by drawing or describing their ideas.

The six-week consultation is open until 25 March.

Community members, schools and other groups are encouraged to share their ideas.

Canberrans can help shape the future of this green space as the City Centre expands over the coming decade to serve thousands more residents, workers and visitors.

The initiative will culminate in a physical City Hill ideas exhibition, an opportunity to discover what has been submitted and add more ideas and visions to the exhibition.

A ‘Discover City Hill Day’ will also take place on 11 March. This will include a First Nations Walk on Country alongside tours with experts in landscape architecture, active travel and local heritage.

The physical exhibition showcasing the ideas from the community will be open at Civic Library from 9 to 25 March.

It is envisaged the park will act as a centrepiece between the evolving Acton Waterfront, the Canberra Theatre Centre redevelopment and connecting light rail.
