Alsatia Park update (May 2023)
The detailed design for Alsatia Park is taking shape and includes feedback received from the community last year.
The contractor has completed 70 per cent of the design with the final design expected to be completed this year.
During the consultation period, there was support for the children’s playground to be moved away from the skatepark and for the playground to be more visible and larger in size.
Council has supported this request along with giving the half-basketball court and skatepark a facelift and installing new items including:
- new shelters with covered seating
- football posts
- hang-out space for older kids, complete with a table tennis table
- drainage improvements
- new footpaths
- a drinking bubbler with a dog bowl
- additional shade trees
- toilet
- barbecue facilities
- connecting pathway.
Construction works are expected to commence mid-next year.
