Help shape our parks for the future
As our community grows, so too does the need to upgrade and renew our infrastructure.
This includes roads, water and sewerage networks, community facilities and our parks.
Division 11 Councillor Natalie Willcocks has allocated funding from the Division 11 Local Infrastructure program for local park upgrades in coming months. This includes:
- Wearing Park, Munruben: Construction of a modular skate park, and the existing basketball court will also be painted.
- Leaf Park, Greenbank: Installation of solar-powered lights to existing picnic shelters.
- Ison Park, Greenbank: A junior bike skills course will be built along with the installation of bike racks and a small nature play area, a picnic shelter and furniture, and new pathways.
- Teviot Downs Park, New Beith: Installation of solar-powered lights to existing picnic shelters.
- Crystal Brook Park, New Beith: Subject to Local Infrastructure Program funding approvals, Stage 2 play equipment is planned for installation.
There are 125 Council-managed parks and reserves in Division 11.
Cr Willcocks says she is eager to receive feedback from members of the community on what they would like to see added to their local park.
‘It is important our parks cater for all age groups and all abilities,’ Cr Willcocks says.
‘Modern park design features so many interesting and cool aspects that help enhance the experience and ensures a fun, free family day out.
‘Park upgrades can include things such as water and nature play areas, playgrounds with towers or even swings with different size seats and baskets to make them all-inclusive.
‘While all park upgrades are dependent on available funding, I am keen to learn what Division 11 residents might like to see in their favourite park and we can start planning for the future.’
We have seen in the past that some of the best ideas for park upgrades come from local residents.’
