Upgrading the playground
Earlier this year, we asked you for input on upgrading the playground. The top playground equipment preferences were:

- Nature based play

Participants also would like further shade.
Council will include these features including a new additional shade sail in the upgrade. Construction is scheduled to take place in February 2025.
