The People's Loop
Trialling changes to your cycling and walking experience in Parramatta Park
The People's Loop Trial has now ended. The two-month trial transformed walking and cycling in World Heritage-listed Parramatta Park from 18 May to Sunday 19 July 2020.
With COVID-19 restrictions placing a stronger emphasis on the vital role parks and public spaces play in supporting mental and physical health, we are creating more space in the Park for you to walk and cycle in the fresh air while observing safe social distancing, through temporary changes to vehicle access, parking and circulation. See our response to COVID-19 via our side menu.
Normal traffic conditions resumed from Monday 20 July.
Free bicycle hire
BOOKINGS NOW CLOSED.
The People's Loop Trial ended on Sunday 19 July 2020.
The eight-week trial was based on the People’s Loop project, a future Parramatta Park plan, and received over 1000 survey responses from the community.
