    The playground construction is progressing well, but unfortunately has experienced delays due to the recent wet weather. We now expect the playspace will re-open in September 2024.

    While a portion of the lower carpark is still being used as a compound for the works, the toilets, picnic shelters and flying fox remain open for use.
