Warriewood is set to get a revamped green space with construction of Lynne Czinner Park kicking off this week. 

The park, formerly known as Fern Creek Reserve, has become bigger by additional property acquisitions along the creek, creating a much anticipated area of open space for the community of Warriewood to enjoy.  

The new park along with the park land to the north of the creek, affectionally know as ‘Rocket Ship Park’, was renamed in consultation with the community to Lynne Czinner Park after the former Mayor of Pittwater and environmental trail blazer.

The new space will include:

• A shared path and pedestrian bridge connection across Fern Creek
• Picnic areas with BBQ facilities, shade and water bottle filling stations
• A fitness station
• Network of shared paths
• Open grassed areas 
• Native plantings and landscaping
• Additional car parking on Dove Lane

The build is being fully funded by developer contributions and is expected to be completed in April, weather permitting. 

Recently the pedestrian bridge connecting the northern and southern side of the park was completed but will remain closed while the other works are undertaken. 

A Plan of Management (PoM) for Lynne Czinner Park was also adopted by Council in March 2022 and sets out how the land is intended to be used, managed, maintained and enhanced in the future.

Lynne Czinner was elected to the first Pittwater Council in 1992, serving consecutive terms until 2008. Within that period, Lynne spent four consecutive terms as Deputy Mayor from 1998 to 2002, and in 2004 Lynne was elected as Mayor.
