Excitement as Civic Playground takes shape

The amazing new playground at Civic Park is now well underway with never before seen in Whyalla equipment with first structures now installed.

Mayor Phill Stone said it was fantastic to see the project coming together, “The playground is starting to look great, and I cannot wait to see it finished and the community enjoying this new space. I see this as becoming a regular hub of family activity for huge portion of our population and a facility they well deserve, I commend all the local contractors who are currently working on this to bring it to the people.” Mayor Stone said.

Project Manager Jenny Sleep confirmed the works are on schedule, “The project is on track to be completed by the end of October, with the next stage of development focusing on concrete footpaths, fencing, landscaping and lawns adjacent to the play space and surrounding skate park” Ms Sleep said.

The playground has been designed through community consultation, with the most popular elements of a including the flying fox, in-ground trampoline, and inclusive roundabout all incorporated. These features are already visible in the current works, with more still to come.
