Pedal for power at Mabel Park
Mabel Park in Slacks Creek has turned into a smart haven with public phone charging facilities, thanks to a $1.8 million Council upgrade.
In a city first, new fitness equipment in the park includes a Magneto Cycle, with a wireless phone charger that charges based on your cycling speed.
New facilities in the park are themed to reflect the adjacent creek, its abundant wildlife and restored habitats for native fish.
They include a custom-designed tower nestled among natural surroundings, a dry creek bed with misters and a timber footbridge and nature play area.
The project was funded by the Division 3 Local Infrastructure Program, along with Council’s Major Parks and Asset Replacement Programs.
To ensure fun activities are also educational, the upgrade includes a junior skills bicycle and scooter track that features mini replica road signs.
Other upgrade features include:
- upgraded fitness equipment
- meditation maze and chess table
- repainted basketball and volleyball equipment and fresh line markings
- barbecue areas and new seating.
Mabel Park is located on Paradise Road, Slacks Creek.
