Leagues Club Park in Gosford is set for some upgrades to improve its usability in time for the July school holidays.
The waterside park has a tidal terrace, picnic and barbecue areas, a playspace, and a field but it has been plagued by poor drainage, which was not addressed during recent works by the State Government.
So Central Coast Council has closed the area to upgrade the drainage system, which will prevent water from pooling on the field and surrounding paths after rain and allow for community use.
The field is expected to re-open by the end of June 2023, after the grass has had time to re-establish itself.
In addition to drainage works, Council will also enhance accessibility to the tiered seating and barbecue areas by replacing the crushed granite with concrete surfaces.
To minimize disruption to park visitors, the works will be carried out in small sections with each area being closed off temporarily as work progresses.
The works got underway on May 29, with completion expected in time for the July school holidays, weather permitting.
