With the City of Fremantle allocating a significant budget over the next few years towards upgrading Fremantle’s suburban Samson Park, Council is seeking community feedback on the proposed upgrades that will inform the development of a Masterplan.

Samson Park is Fremantle's most significant bush reserve - home to more than 50 bird species, reptiles, bats and an abundance of endemic native plants.

The City is dedicated to preserving the park's unique bushland character, while enhancing the amenities to meet the needs of a growing community.

Samson Park is well-used by dog walkers, families and nature lovers and is cared for by the Friends of Samson Park.

It holds historical significance too, having been the property of the Armed Forces during WWII.

The Masterplan will aim to improve infrastructure, accessibility and educational experiences as well as acknowledge the park's cultural and heritage value, strengthen social and ecological connections and promote sustainability.

There will be a community drop-in session at Samson Park picnic area on Saturday 30th November 2024 (9am-12pm) at which the public can ask questions of City staff and get advice on how best to submit their ideas.

Interested community members can contribute to the project by Sunday 15th December 2024 via mysay.fremantle.wa.gov.au
