Gurdon Reserve playground to be upgraded
Play equipment will be upgraded Gurdon Reserve in Woy Woy Bay, Central Coast Council has announced.
The new equipment will include a new "shop front", two slides, a junior swing, a nest swing, a rocker and "sensory play".
"New park furniture, landscaping and rubber softfall into and around the facility will also be constructed to promote accessibility and inclusion," according to council director Ms Mel Smith.
She said the renewal program would have regular reviews and a programmed schedule of works to maintain, upgrade and where necessary remove old, vandalised, or broken equipment.
"The physical location of playspaces and how they are spatially distributed across the region are important in determining how frequently they are used by the community," Ms Smith said.
"Council aims to ensure that there is a network of well designed, inclusive, enjoyable appropriately sited playspaces that provide diversity in play experiences.
"Foremost, our priority is to ensure that all our play spaces are safe and meet Australian standards."
