The park’s history of conservation efforts underscores its values of community engagement and environmental responsibility.
Located on Pidding Road in Ryde, Pidding Park stands as a testament to the City of Ryde’s acknowledgment of the Traditional Custodians of the land, the Wallumedegal Clan of the Darug nation. By paying respect to Elders past, present, and emerging, as well as other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, the park fosters a culture of inclusivity and cultural appreciation. Pidding Park serves as a hub for sports, community gatherings, and environmental conservation, embodying a holistic approach to recreation and sustainability.
