Werrington Park was established by the NSW Child Welfare Department as a home for intellectually disabled State Wards in 1954. Children residing there were taught basic life skills and farming. Starting with 12 boys, the home held 120 by the 1970s. When Taldree closed in 1980 the boys were sent to Werrington Park. Werrington Park had closed by 1988 and is now part of the Western Sydney University.
