The Barrallier Park small scale water play facility at The Oaks is ready to help keep the kids at The Oaks cool during the coming summer season.
It includes a water play area, accessible amenities with changerooms, seating, pathways and landscaping.
Wollondilly Mayor Matt Gould, federal MP Angus Taylor and state MP Judy Hannan (pictured below) attended the unveiling and testing of the brand new facility last week. They were joined by children from Busy Bee Kindergarten
“We first took the idea of small-scale water play facilities to the community in 2021 and I’m delighted to see the project now constructed and ready to use in Spring,” Cr Gould said.
“I’m excited for the kids of The Oaks and surrounds who will get to cool down in this fun and vibrant facility during the hotter months.
“The water play facility will be open to the public for use when the weather warms up in September. We will hold a community celebration at that time,” he said.
The project received $670,000 from the NSW Government as well as funding from the Commonwealth Government’s Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program along with council contributions.
“Getting kids comfortable around water and playing safety in water is a great way to get them outdoors and looking forward to other water sports like swimming,” said Minister for Regional NSW Tara Moriarty.
“I’m sure the park will be very popular in the warmer months as locals and visitors cool off at this fantastic new facility.”
