Campbelltown residents who live west of the railway line will soon be able to take their kids to a play space with the lot.
There will be a combination play unit, climbing net, accessible swing, combination swing set and an accessible carousel and trampoline when work is completed this September at Eagle Farm Reserve, Eagle Vale, located next to the duck pond.
A mix of native tree plantings and sails will provide shade in the play space and there will be several picnic shelters and a grassed picnic area installed, as well as accessible toilets and public art.
Mayor George Brticevic, who used to take his own kids there when they were growing up, says the new play space will be a winner for local families.
“This new play space will be a meeting place for families to enjoy time together, have a picnic and enjoy play equipment that is accessible for all,” he said.
“I remember bringing my own kids down to the Eagle Vale duck pond and I’m delighted that we’re providing this fantastic play space to enhance the reserve for the many young families that live in this suburb.
“Our State of Play strategy was put in place to ensure all families in Campbelltown have access to safe and accessible play areas and I’m excited to see progress being made on a number of play spaces in our local government area,” he said.
The $725,000 project is funded by $200,000 from the State Government’s Everyone Can Play Program and $525,000 from Campbelltown Council.
Other local play spaces that are currently under construction include Waminda Reserve, Gadshill Reserve and Oswald Reserve.
