Construction started on a $1.2 hectare site in Freeman Circuit earlier this year and already some significant changes have been seen.
Mayor Graeme Hanger said most of the landscaping had been finalised, with works still to be completed including the installation of a shaded picnic and barbecue area and specific items of children's playground equipment.
"Freeman Park is coming along nicely with significant progress made over the past few months," he said.

The park is expected to be open for use once the irrigated grass and turf areas have established, which will be in spring this year.
Cr Hanger expects that the park will be well used by once it is finished.
"Freeman Park has plenty to offer both residents and visitors to Llanarth," he said.
"The 1.2 hectare site, bounded by Freeman Circuit and Cobb Close, will consist of passive and recreational areas, a playground, seating, paths, park lighting, picnic and barbecue area, and plenty of open irrigated green space to kick the footy or sit and enjoy the outdoor environment."
The development of the park was funded by council, with the help of a $100,000 NSW Government grant.
