BRAND NEW: The Field Street play area with its flying fox.
Whyalla now has 22 play areas after another two opened for fun-business during the July school holidays.
The Field Street and Ada Ryan Gardens equipment is now ready to use following the recent opening of the Travers Street Reserve play area. Council has also made a start on installing equipment at the Pt Lowly play area which is scheduled for completion next week.
The Field Street area features a cool flying fox and several more pieces of great equipment including a multi-play unit. The feature in Ada Ryan Gardens is an intermediate climbing pyramid, a multi-play unit and pod swing.
Funding for the equipment was gained through a Council application to the State Government’s Open Spaces Program.
The City of Whyalla was awarded just over $220,000 which is being matched by Council dollar-for-dollar to fund the play areas. The equipment at each site was chosen after a public consultation process.
GARDEN PLAY: The brand new play area at Ada Ryan Gardens featuring the climbing pyramid.
