Precinct park would be tourist attraction

I write in reply to the letter from R Braddish (Peninsula News, March 26) about the potential for tourist development on the Peninsula.

The Peninsula Families Action Group is aiming to increase the attraction of tourists to the area by working with Gosford Council and local community organisations to develop Umina Precinct Park.

This park would incorporate state-of-the-art vandal-proof play equipment for children of all ages, trike track, adult exercise equipment, covered picnic tables and lots of shade.

This will be a fantastic community resource as well as a tourist attraction.

Any development needs, of course, to be developed with the ongoing input of all community groups in the area from the surf club nearby to environmental groups to ensure that all care is taken to protect and enhance the area.

Those wanting more information about this development can come along to the Peninsula Park Fun Day on Saturday, May 12, from 10am-2pm where equipment and plans will be on display as well as lots of activities for families.
