Federal Member for Lyne, David Gillespie was in Gloucester recently to announce the upgrades for Gloucester District Park and King George V Park.
"Families around the district will love the new playground that's being installed in King George V Park," Dr Gillespie said.
"Gone will be the tired old swing set and plastic slide, to be replaced with new timber forts, a pirate ship, cubby houses, climbing frames, tube slides and musical instruments."
Dr Gillespie said new electric barbecues, smart timber seating and solar lighting would be installed at Gloucester District Park.
A total of $200,000 will be spent on Gloucester District Park for electric barbecues, picnic settings, shelters, seating and solar lighting.
King George V Park gets the remaining $120,00 for new playground equipment.
"With Federal funding we're making a number of these improvements at parks and recreation grounds across the region," Dr Gillespie said.
"The Local Roads and Community Infrastructure program has also provided funding for local projects including the new canteen and storage at Gloucester Rec Ground 1 and upgrading of the Gloucester Netball courts which is due to get underway in the Christmas holidays," he said.
