That's a very good map! I found it too. Map photos from 2016 and 1977.

Awesome! Any more? I did find a website with lots of aerial maps, some going back 50 years, but they cost. Also, as mentioned, here's a 1988 map look at Waterworks area [centre of page]. While there is nothing labelled as such, nor any boundaries, etc, you will however see a very differently shaped Stout Road... and Kurrajong Avenue is a dead end!

That makes sense. I was also thinking of Kurrajong as that would have allowed a full block. I have a street directory from 1988 in storage... I'll see if anything is marked there at that time, and at what size, etc.

Thanks! I didn't expect an answer from this ancient thread, but you're right. I did some research and found a historical society Facebook page, who also told me the park was located beyond the corner of North Parade and Belmore Avenue, in what is now an empty gravel yard - right next to the foot bridge. Interesting that also in this thread someone said there was a pool company built after the park closed; I found out it was called Waterworks Homeworld Pools (long gone now), which was 10 Stout Road. Also interesting, if you go into Google Earth and go back to 2004 (the earliest it goes), you can see what looks like a driveway/entrance coming from the N Parade/Belmore corner (but already closed off), and going right past a long building structure that appears to be the old entrance. When you Google image search "mount druitt waterworks" you will see a photo of a three-level roofed building covered with graffiti - I believe that is the structure seen in Google Earth search. I was surprised throughout this, how quickly local history disappears and isn't recorded on the internet. I even emailed the Manly water park (former sister park of Mount Druitt Waterworks) but they had no idea where it was. Anyway, thanks again! Hi. Yes that was my guess too. But was the entire park this big only? I assumed it would have taken up much more land than this. (If only Google had satellite imagery older than 2004; if you could go back to 1981 you would see it all clearly)

Hi. Very old thread here, but I was wondering if anyone remembers the approximate address of the Mount Druitt Waterworks, as nothing on the internet (Wikipedia, etc) says so. I realize this has been answered a few times here, but only vaguely, and also in context to landmarks no longer existent (ie a pool shop). In current Googlemaps terms, was it near the swimming pool area, or the open common/square area? Just curious. I did go there once in the early 80s, and recall seeing bits of it in the late 90s from the train, and now live not far away. Thanks if anyone can help.
