Mission

At Blackbutt Reserve, our mission is to bring you closer to nature with accessible and playful recreational spaces for everyone. As Newcastle’s 'Green Heart,' we're all about supporting the community’s dream of a smart, livable, and eco-friendly city. Whether you're exploring our wildlife exhibits, relaxing in our scenic spots, or just enjoying the great outdoors, we aim to make every visit a delightful adventure. Join us in celebrating nature and having fun while helping to build a vibrant, sustainable community!

City of Newcastle acknowledges that we operate on the grounds of the traditional country of the Awabakal and Worimi peoples.
We recognise and respect their cultural heritage, beliefs and continuing relationship with the land, and that they are the proud survivors of more than two hundred years of dispossession.
CN reiterates its commitment to address disadvantages and attain justice for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of this community.
