Doonside locals are enjoying a new and improved playground in their suburb after Doonside Heights Park received a $113,000 upgrade.
Blacktown City Mayor Stephen Bali MP said this Doonside playground is one of many playgrounds to receive a facelift as part of Council’s ongoing renewal program.
“Playgrounds are vital to our community. They contribute to our lifestyle, and provide valuable spaces for children to play and learn,” Mayor Bali said.
“Blacktown City has recognised this importance by allocating funding to upgrades for several parks across the city every year, including at Doonside Heights Park.”
Council undertook a consultation workshop with Crawford Public School students and consulted with the surrounding community for the Doonside Heights Park.
“Community views played a significant role in designing the playground and choosing the equipment,” Mayor Bali said.
“The park features a range of equipment including a flying fox, pod swing, carousel, swing set, springers and a trampoline.
George Alder Reserve in Quakers Hill, Thomas Kelly Street Park in Lalor Park, Prospect Park in Prospect, Azzopardi Street Park in Glendenning and Willmot Reserve in Willmot, will all receive upgrades in the coming months.
