The Friends of Carrington Park group have asked for locals to come for a walk and talk in the Park on Wednesday February 21 at 6:45pm.
Young Historian Brian James said Carrington Park has been developed into a beautiful park and is a showpiece of the town.
“The park is Heritage Listed and is in a Heritage precinct and should not be interfered with for a project which has all the appearances of a white elephant,” he said.
“Most towns in NSW have substantial and well developed Town Parks and Young considers itself to be in the top echelon of towns of similar size. There is no other area suitable for a reasonably formal and stately park close to the CBD and therefore Carrington Park should be preserved at all costs.
“We encourage all those who support our view to join us on Wednesday evening.”
