Designed to provide an enriching and inclusive recreational environment for residents of all ages, the project boasts a comprehensive scope of improvements.
Central to the project is installing new play equipment, carefully selected to stimulate imagination, promote physical activity and foster social interaction among children.
Nature play elements were also incorporated to connect visitors with the natural environment, encouraging exploration and appreciation for the surrounding ecosystem.
Mayor Cr Louise Bannister said the official opening of the Kings Park Play Space Upgrade Project represents a significant achievement for our community.
“By investing in recreational infrastructure and promoting active lifestyles, we are not only enhancing the quality of life for current residents but also laying the foundation for a healthier and more vibrant community for generations to come,” she said.
The project also included the installation of a shade sail, providing a shaded area for families to relax and enjoy the park’s amenities especially during the sunniest days.
Individuals of all abilities will now be able to easily navigate the area as enhancements were made to the connecting paths to ensure accessibility.
The $245,000 investment in the Kings Park Play Space Upgrade Project reflects a shared commitment to community wellbeing and recreational infrastructure development.
A contribution of $200,000 from the Victorian Government’s Growing Suburbs Fund and an additional $45,000 was provided by Mitchell Shire Council to complete the project.
