Key Considerations for the Reserve
Wiseman Park is named for William J. Wiseman who was an alderman of Wollongong Municipal Council for a period of 50 years and served as Mayor for 5 terms. He died in 1922 at the age of 80.

This reserve includes:

• Tennis Courts
• Cricket ground
• Significant Natural areas with walking trail
• Playground
• Wiseman drinking fountain
• General park furniture and fencing

Future improvements to Wiseman’s Park will be guided by the Council endorsed Fairy Creek Corridor Master Plan.

The reserve is not declared to be ‘Critical Habitat’ or land directly affected by a Recovery Plan. However, the above may be present:

• MU23 – Illawarra Lowland Grassy Woodland EEC
• Eastern bent-wing bat (Threatened Fauna)
