Central Coast Council is excited to announce the renewal of 13 local playspaces across the region as part of the Central Coast Playspace Strategy. Construction of the playspaces will take place between January and June 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Central Coast Council Director Community and Recreation Services, Melanie Smith said the renewals will focus on creating inclusive and engaging play experiences in local neighbourhoods across the Central Coast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe renewed playspaces will offer a range of equipment, including play, nature play or fitness equipment,\u201d Ms Smith said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis will provide valuable recreation facilities for the local and wider community, promoting healthy living and active lifestyles, while ensuring inclusive and engaging play experiences for children of varying ages and abilities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Recognising the crucial role of playspaces in fostering children’s physical, emotional, social and cognitive development, Council remains committed to its 2020-2025 Playspace Strategy. This strategy outlines a 20-year renewal program for sustainable playspace management, ensuring repairs, replacements and upgrades are carried out to maintain the safety and accessibility of all 270 Council playspaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 13 local playspaces scheduled for renewal in the 2024-2025 financial year are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to renewing 13 local playspaces, Council will also be constructing three district-level playspaces this financial year:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Central Coast Council Mayor, Lawrie McKinna said these renewals will have a positive impact on the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur local community, including families and community groups, as well as visitors to the region will benefit from these renewed playspaces,\u201d Mayor McKinna said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThese vital community assets contribute significantly to the physical, emotional and cognitive development of children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBy renewing these playspaces, Council is providing a safe setting for children to play, learn and connect, while fostering stronger community connections between families and the wider community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This project is made possible by $1.29 million funding secured through Council’s capital works budget. Additionally, NSW Government\u2019s Local Small Commitments Allocation Program funds will contribute $50,000 to the total cost for renewing the Murrumbooee Park playspace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
