Yurong Water Garden

Sculpture and environmental artwork by Anita Glesta inspired by the Yurong Creek that once ran from the edge of Cook and Phillip Park through the mangrove swamps down into Woolloomooloo Bay. Roughly hewn boulders of sandstone, reflecting its natural and cultural heritage, and original pavers from the former park have been arranged to form a course for the creek which flows down three terraces of gardens retracing the path of the original.
