Dubbo Regional Council partnered with West Dubbo Rotary and Clontarf to plant the trees, as part of a $50,000 improvement project funded by Family and Community Services, due to the high level of social housing in the area.
Council's horticulture and landcare asset coordinator Ben Pilon said two brightly-coloured, accessible barbecues had also been installed, as well as lights to boost the security of the park.
