Stage One of the Lethbridge Play Space Upgrade at Lethbridge Recreation Reserve is now complete, and the playground is open to the public.
This stage of the project included demolition of the old play space, site preparation for new play elements, installation of new equipment including slides, swings and see-saws and a wheelchair carousal. Edging, mulching and installation of a rubberised softfall was also completed.
Additional works to install nature play elements is scheduled to begin in February 2024, with the installation of a shelter, BBQ and seating to follow in March 2024. Some equipment will be unavailable during construction of the nature play elements to ensure community safety.
This exciting project aims to encourage physical activity, increase social connection, attract township visitation and enhance liveability for current and future Lethbridge residents.
The Victorian Government has contributed $200,000 funding from its Living Local Fund to complete works, and Council has contributed $200,000 to fully fund and deliver the project. To learn more about the community consultation process for this project, click here.
Other Council infrastructure improvements to support and complement the Lethbridge Play Space Upgrade include car park upgrade works and footpath works along Russell Street - which are scheduled for delivery later in the 2023/24 Financial Year.
