Eveleigh lies between Darlington and Redfern, effectively blocking passage between the two. The suburb consists entirely of railway yards, now partially disused, and is the subject of development proposals to create new housing - see Redfern-Eveleigh-Darlington.
Eveleigh was named after the estate of Lieutenant J. R. Holden, so called after his birthplace in England.
South Sydney Council agreed to provide fences and connect water to a plot of land next to Murawina preschool, a playground and a railway line.
Murawina has started its own sheet mulch garden for the children there during the day and some of the women on The Block have, or are about to start, their own sheet mulch gardens.
The fact that Eveleigh Street Community Garden persisted in some form or another is evidence of its durability in a community under considerable social, economic and political stress.
