Bell to Preston Linear Park - Level Crossing Removal Project
Park of the Year Award
VIC/TAS
Submission Overview
The Bell to Preston Level Crossing Removal Project transforms the community with a dynamic 2km linear park along the elevated rail corridor. More than just a park, it functions as a connector and community hub. It serves as a meeting place, a play space, an outdoor gym, an event lawn, an outdoor classroom, and a habitat corridor. Featuring new green spaces, active transport links, and public amenities, it enhances the urban landscape while honouring Wurundjeri heritage through storytelling, art, and ecological restoration, fostering a connected and inclusive community.
