Opportunities to be involved
It was an absolute pleasure to attend Gosford Council's Open Day event with my six-year-old son.
We listened as mayor Chris Holstein gave a heartfelt and inspiring talk about the project, with emphasis on the importance of us working together to maintain a safe and healthy environment for our families.
My son had a wonderful opportunity to be a part of the soccer clinic with the Mariners - his first real experience with the sport aside from us kicking the ball in the backyard.
We worked together creating a tile to be featured in the playground.
To give us an opportunity to be a part of the project in this way was truly unique.
I also found out that I could be involved with the bushcare group and bring my son to learn too which is fantastic.
We work together on our little garden at home and it will be lovely to be more involved in the community in a positive way.
Many thanks go to all the behind-the-scenes people who brought about this playground project.
It is a real blessing!
