Yerrabi Pond, nestled in Canberra’s north, is a well-loved destination for recreation, relaxation, and community connection. From dog walking and skating to outdoor fitness and social gatherings, the area supports a wide range of daily activities. As part of a broader infrastructure upgrade informed by community feedback, Street + Garden was engaged to help enhance both the functionality and aesthetic appeal of the space.
Residents expressed a desire for more recreational amenities and improved facilities, including additional seating and waste infrastructure. In response, Street + Garden delivered a vibrant suite of public furniture, finished in a striking blue and detailed with laser-cut patterns that interact beautifully with natural light throughout the day.
This project gave Street + Garden the opportunity to contribute to a cherished local space by combining practical improvements with design-led placemaking. The furniture was developed not just for comfort and durability, but to bring visual energy and a sense of identity to the park. By enhancing accessibility, usability, and enjoyment, the installation supports Yerrabi Pond’s role as a vital gathering point in Canberra’s north.
