“These 20 renewed playspaces are all about giving children safe, inclusive and engaging places to play, explore and connect close to home,” Mayor McNamara said.
“Each playspace offers something different, from nature play and ninja courses to musical play equipment, creating new and unique experiences for children across the Coast.
\u201cWe’ve listened to our community and delivered spaces that encourage children to get outdoors, be active and connect with others.
“I’d like to thank the Australian and NSW Governments for their support in helping Council bring these fantastic community spaces to life.”
These playspace upgrades are part of Council’s long-term asset renewal program, helping keep local playspaces safe, accessible, engaging and enjoyable for current and future generations.
The recently adopted Central Coast Playspace Strategy 2026-2031,<\/a> shaped by feedback from more than 1,000 community members, gives Council a clear roadmap for managing and investing in more than 270 playspaces across the Central Coast over the next five years.
This Strategy ensures future playspace renewals continue to deliver the accessible, inclusive and high-quality spaces local residents want and need.
Federal Member for Robertson, Dr Gordon Reid welcomed the completion of the upgraded playspaces.
\u201cThe Australian Government is proud to have contributed $1.75 million through the Thriving Suburbs Program to renew and upgrade 14 playspaces across the Central Coast,\u201d Dr Reid said.
\u201cThese upgrades will give local children and families safer, more accessible and welcoming places to play, connect and enjoy the outdoors, while strengthening neighbourhoods right across our region.
\u201cI thank Central Coast Council and everyone involved in planning and delivering these important projects. This is a terrific investment in the wellbeing of our community and in public spaces that Central Coast families can enjoy for years to come.\u201d
Federal Member for Dobell, Emma McBride said getting outdoors, being active and spending time with family and friends are some of the best parts of growing up on the Central Coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s why I\u2019m proud to have delivered upgrades to ten playgrounds across the Dobell electorate, giving families more choice this spring and summer.\u201d
Federal Member for Shortland, Pat Conroy said the upgrades would provide improved facilities for local children and families.
\u201cThese upgrades to playspaces at Lake Munmorah and San Remo will make sure members of our community have access to modern and accessible facilities where kids can enjoy some play time and families can interact.\u201d Mr Conroy said.
