Common Health of Australia: Ecological Recovery And Shared Green Space In Moore Park

University/SchoolUniversity of California, Berkeley
Lead ArchitectChenyi Wang

This project reimagines Moore Park, once part of Sydney’s vital freshwater swampland and sand dune system supporting ecological connectivity and cultural uses. Over time, the park was transformed from a shared natural corridor into a privatized golf course, disrupting hydrology, fragmenting habitat, and limiting public access. In response, the design proposes a rewilding strategy to restore ecological function while retaining golf use. By reshaping landforms and integrating native planting, wetlands, and trails, the project creates a sanctuary where biodiversity and urban life thrive.
