A Sydney park has been temporarily closed.

Rozelle Parklands in Sydney's Inner West has been temporarily closed after samples of garden mulch were found to contain traces of asbestos. The new green space, which only opened to the public last month, is closed while tests are conducted on-site. Initial expert advice suggests the sample is low risk and air quality tests revealed no airborne particles, Transport for NSW said in a statement. The mulch was provided by a contractor and will be removed from the site and replaced. Inquiries are being made into whether the product has been used at any other locations.
