Enjoy the new play equipment! This project is now complete.

Northview Park playground in Glenella is now open to the public and is already proving extremely popular!

The impressive new play unit features two three-story, interconnected climbing towers measuring 7.6m in height. The towers are the first of their kind to be installed in Queensland by the manufacturer. The small combination unit, old carousel and two single-seat spring rockers have also been replaced with newer models.

Make a date to visit the park with your family these school holidays!

The new shade structure is complete and installation of the towers is under way

We are full steam ahead. All of the old play equipment has been removed and the new roofed shade structure has been erected to ensure weather protection is provided to the existing equipment underneath which is to remain. Installation of the new climbing towers and other pieces of play equipment are under way.

We would like to remind the community while the equipment is being renewed, that the Northview Park playground is expected to be closed until the end of June. During construction the public toilets and picnic facilities will remain operational.
