Hanging Gardens of Paddington

The Paddington Reservoir Gardens are an under-utilised community asset. They started life in the second half of the 19th century as a water reservoir to supply a burgeoning Sydney town. By the middle of the 20th century they were a petrol station, then derelict for a quarter of a century, then transformed by the City of Sydney into a park as a work of art.
