John Tucker Park Playground Upgrade

Funding:

This project, funded under the Local Road & Community Infrastructure Program (LRCI), will replace the aging equipment with a modern, inclusive playground that caters to children aged 2–12.

Design and Consultation:

The playground design was developed in consultation with the local community, including the Paterson Progress Association, Paterson P&C, and Paterson Rotary.

Features:

The equipment promotes physical development, adventure, and sensory play while balancing individual and group play. The design includes vibrant colours, a mix of rubber and wood soft-fall, and is welcoming for children of all abilities.

Flood Considerations:

Given the site’s flood-prone nature, the materials were chosen to ensure durability and ease of maintenance.

Timing of Works:

The works are scheduled to commence on Monday 2 December 2024 and are expected to take approximately two weeks (including two weekends). Weather permitting, completion of the project is scheduled for Tuesday 17 December 2024.

Please note that the play equipment area will be closed during this time, and the community are being notified of the closure through various channels and on-site messaging.
