The new and improved nature playspace at the Wamberal Memorial Hill is now complete following several weeks of work to upgrade the space.

Upgrades to the nature playspace include a new bench seat, balance logs, rope climber, stepping logs, net climber, bongo drums, sandstone wall/seating and a play café.

Member for Terrigal Adam Crouch said the new nature play space would be a great and welcome addition for the community.

“The new nature playspace is now open for all to enjoy and I know it will be thoroughly utilised by families in the area to enjoy quality time in the outdoors,” he said.

“We know playgrounds are important hubs for learning and development of children allowing for physical exercise and learning the importance skills of collaboration and negotiation, so this space is a great addition to our local community.”

Crouch called on the State Government to provide more funding for play space upgrades.

“Under the former Liberal-National government’s Stronger Country Communities Fund we had numerous play space upgrades and renewals, such as the Sun Valley Reserve in Green Point, which is now significantly utilised the community,” he said.

“The Minns Labor Government must continue the former government’s investment in the region, and I expect to see significant financial support to Central Coast Council for playground upgrades in the State Budget.”
