Located behind the Rural Fire Brigade and adjacent to the town cricket pitch, the playground will be re-orientated as part of an upgrade to improve the functionality of the popular recreational space.
Existing equipment will be replaced with contemporary stainless steel units that include an all-age swing set and climbing frames.
“We’re progressively upgrading playgrounds across the region, focusing on modern facilities that are customised and offer durability specific to their location,” MidCoast Council community spaces, recreation and trades manager, Dan Aldridge said.
“We’re often asked about fencing and shade for playgrounds, factors which are considered relative to where the playground is situated and whether natural shade is available,” Mr Aldridge said.
Based on a review of the Limeburners Creek playground, fencing and artificial shade do not form part of the current upgrade.
“We have scheduled installation of the new play structures to take place mid-July.”
