New Epping hosted a community celebration to inaugurate the initial phase of construction and the newly established park. The Family Day event maintained a fun, family-friendly atmosphere with complimentary food, entertainment and various children's activities. Local indigenous groups, community organisations and food trucks participated, adding to the inclusive, community-focused vibe.
