We are upgrading the Heritage Park playground in Mullumbimby with some new equipment and an improved shelter.
These upgrades are one of the first stages of delivering the Heritage Park Masterplan.
Following your feedback in March and April, we will be starting works to upgrade the playground in September.
Key themes from the consultation
- General support for the draft design.
- The informal play features were well liked.
- There were requests for smaller items for younger children.
- Removal of unofficial carpark to make area safer.
- New dog area away from playground.
- Future nearby toilets.
New play equipment
The proposed new equipment is aimed at improving the play experience for the 6 to 12-year-olds.
A proposed 4-meter-high climbing net offers views over the park with more challenging balancing ropes, elevated platforms and climbing features.
There will also be more natural and repurposed materials such as boulders, logs, rocks, steppers or plants to facilitate nature-based and imaginative play.
The existing play equipment will remain.
New family friendly shelter
The upgrades will also provide a new family friendly shelter and extra seating.
The existing table setting will remain.
Improved access and pathways
Also happening alongside this upgrade is the construction of a new accessible footpath. Construction for this is due to start in September 2024.
Heritage Park Landscape Masterplan
This project is one of the first to come out of the Heritage Park Landscape Masterplan, which guides the layout and future development of the area. The plan includes new toilets within easy access from the playground, upgraded pathways and restoring vegetation.
