Vision

Like Sydney’s Royal Botanic Gardens and Centennial Park, Callan Park is a uniquely valuable site and cultural resource that is intensively used and greatly treasured by the local and wider community. Like them, Callan Park needs to be protected for the future by being well maintained and managed in response to community needs and issues.

FOCP’s priorities for Callan Park are:

• Maintain the psychiatric hospital on site
• Maximise the open space within Callan Park for the benefit of the
  community
• Conserve the historic buildings and landscapes
• Find appropriate uses for the historic buildings that are not inconsistent
  with the above, or with the values of a major public park
