Holroyd Gardens

The former Goodlet and Smith Brickworks site in Western Sydney is historically significant as the region's first mechanised brick plant and one of NSW's earliest. Operated by Goodlet and Smith (1884-1955), it was also a major local employer. Today, the site is a mixed-use precinct with medium-density housing in the east and the large community recreational space of Holroyd Gardens to the west.
Holroyd Gardens features footpaths, shelters, a carpark, play equipment, a rotunda, and a man-made lake. Importantly, the park preserves remnants of the former brickworks, including Hoffman kilns, down draught kilns, chimney stacks, and brickmaking machinery.
