Two renewed playgrounds for North Rockhampton

Published on 18 March 2019

North Rockhampton families will soon be able to slide, swing, and spin at two renewed parks in Frenchville and Koongal.

The current playground equipment at Eichelberger Park in Frenchville and Alan Bray Park in Koongal is being removed, and by late April residents can expect to find better and brighter equipment in their place.

Parks Committee Chair Councillor Cherie Rutherford said that she is excited to see families enjoying the two revitalised playgrounds.

“The Rockhampton Region is fast gaining a reputation for providing fantastic playground facilities for our residents, which is a reputation we are more than happy with,” said Cr Rutherford.

“There are, of course, our popular playgrounds in Kershaw Gardens, Rocky’s revitalised riverbank, and Gracemere’s Cedric Archer Park.

“However, we are equally committed to providing families with fantastic play equipment in their own neighbourhoods, and these two revitalised playgrounds are a great example.

“The renewed Alan Bray playground will feature a tower complete with a climbing wall, slide, and climbing net, as well as a double swing, seesaw, and spiroette.

“The playground at Eichelberger Park will feature a double tower with spaces for climbing, crawling, balancing, and sliding, as well as a double swing, kangaroo springer, and spiroette.

“I am very excited for these revitalised playgrounds to be added to the ever-growing list of great places for families to play in our region,” said Cr Rutherford.  

The renewed playgrounds will be ready for families to enjoy by late April, and in the meantime you can follow this link to discover another great park near you.
