Newlands Park to get a $3.6 million upgrade
A flash new mutli-use all weather playing surface, a bike pump track and an enhanced ecological corridor are all part of a upgrade planned for Newlands Park.
The overall budget is $3.6 million, with $1.54 million being allocated from the Plimmer Trust.
Other features of the park include.
* Creating a community play space adjacent to the skate park. This will see two play spaces with one for toddlers and the other for general use.
* Space for families to gather including barbecues, sheltered seating landscaping, and area for small outdoor performances.
* A half basketball court, a bike pump track and the redevelopment of the existing skate area.
* Enhanced ecological corridor and connectivity of green networks in the Northern Suburbs.
* Improved parking facilities at the upper level sports field.
* Provide public toilet facilities located close to the play space.
Construction is planned for 2020 and will take a phased approach.
