Feasibility concept

Better connections to the cycling loop

Build on the People’s Loop with welcoming connections, clearer wayfinding and practical rider facilities.

See the indicative location ↗
Open lawns and river in Parramatta Park

The idea

The People’s Loop is an existing Greater Sydney Parklands initiative. This community concept explores complementary connections and facilities rather than presenting that initiative as a new project.

Explore the official People’s Loop project ↗
  • Study safer, clearer connections into the existing network.
  • Explore bike parking, repair points and drinking water.
  • Consider the experience of walkers, children and people with mobility needs alongside cycling.
