About this place
What to expect
AJ Keast Park is one of Broken Hill's most welcoming community spaces, perfect for families, travellers, and locals alike. Originally dedicated as Hillside Reserve in 1897, the park was renamed in 1940 to honour Asdruebal James Keast, a pioneering General Manager of the Zinc Corporation who played a vital role in both mining innovation and environmental stewardship. Today, AJ Keast Park offers a safe and enjoyable environment with a fully fenced playground, shaded areas, picnic tables, and wheelchair access. Parents can relax while children explore the play equipment, and visitors will appreciate the convenience of toilets, easy parking, and nearby facilities. With the PCYC right next door, the park is a popular gathering spot for the community. Covering more than two acres of greenery, AJ Keast Park is also a peaceful retreat for walkers and runners, with well-maintained paths winding through the grounds. Whether you're stopping for lunch, letting the kids burn off energy, or simply enjoying the fresh outback air, this park provides the perfect pause in your Broken Hill adventure. Make AJ Keast Park part of your journey – a place where history, community, and relaxation come together.
