Local artist Ludwina Roebuck had her Birdhouse Wall installed and commissioned by Lithgow Tidy Towns in 2016 with funding from the Lithgow Skulls Project.
Ms Roebuck who creates bright and joyful works from diverse and unique materials, said the vibrant installation has become a favourite among locals and visitors.
Lithgow City Council has since commissioned Ms Roebuck's expansion of the popular Birdhouse Wall through the NSW Government's Streets as Shared Spaces program.
Ms Roebuck has created new plates in response to the plantings and other design elements recently installed in the park.

New flowers created from found objects depict the locally native Large-Fruited Tea Tree which can also be found in the design on the amenities block and planted in the surrounding garden beds.
Lithgow mayor Ray Thompson said Ms Roebuck's artwork was now an iconic park of the region's growing public art trail.
"I'm grateful to her for bringing more of her creativity to Main Street. I would also like to thank Lithgow Tidy Towns and artists Tim Johnman and Steven Cunningham for supporting the commission," he said.
