Nightingale Reserve was Magill Sunrise Rotary’s first major community project and remains one of our proudest achievements.
What is now a beautiful community reserve filled with native plants, walking trails and community facilities was once a bit tired and in need of care and attention. Working alongside Campbelltown City Council and local community groups, Rotary volunteers helped transform the reserve into the community asset enjoyed today.
From Quaint Park to Community Treasure
By the early 2000s, Nightingale Reserve was underutilised by the community due to a lack of features and difficulties keeping it maintained to a usable standard.
Magill Sunrise Rotary worked with Campbelltown City Council, local schools, Scouts, Guides and government agencies to rehabilitate the site, plant native vegetation and create facilities for the community to enjoy.

Over the years Magill Sunrise Rotary has:
- Developed and funded the interpretive trail
- Installed educational signage about the area’s history
