Dee Why’s new little gem: St David’s Avenue Park

A busy pocket of Dee Why that was once a bit of an eyesore is now a cosy and attractive spot where you can sit, eat your lunch and watch the world go by. 

Today Council opened St David Avenue Park on the corner of Pittwater Road and St David Avenue.

The park is now a beautifully landscaped public space conveniently located at the northbound B-Line bus stop. Dee Why Town Centre public square, the Dee Why Library and Dee Why Police Station are all within arm’s reach.

A key feature of the park’s design is its circular timber seating around the new central Angophora tree, which will provide a shady spot to read a book from the nearby library while you wait for the bus! 

The park is complete with an accessible ramp and public toilets, located under the adjacent Carlyle Building, open from 6am to 9pm. Other features include 28 metres of bleacher-style seating plus seating walls, lighting for safety and accessibility and a drinking fountain. 

The landscaping complements plants and trees in the area and includes Angophora Costata tree plus over 1500 plants including a range of native trees and shrubs from Old Man Banksia, Eumundi and Lilly-pilly. 

Later this year, to complete the park, we will be unveiling a new public artwork by Artists Dennis Golding and the Collide Public Art Initiative.
