Playground upgrade complete

Children in Avalon are once again swinging, climbing and sliding with delight as their much-loved playground reopened this week following a three-month upgrade.

The beautiful design was based on community feedback which identified keeping the existing footprint, introducing nature, and different challenges for different ages as the key objectives.

The new inclusive playground features natural materials such as timber, rope, and sandstone and caters for both young and old children with two play towers giving differing climbing challenges. There are also artistic and interpretive carvings throughout the playground that will be a delight for children to discover.

A new accessible pathway linking the Bowling Green Lane carpark to the playground makes it easy for parents with prams or those in wheelchairs or with walkers.
