Tascott playground gets makeover

Tascott residents will be able to enjoy an upgraded playground following the completion of construction works at Murrumbooee Place Playspace.

The new play equipment includes a play unit with a double and single slide, rocker, play shop, climbing walls, sensory play, standard swing, junior swing, rubber softfall and seating.

The upgrade of Murrumbooee Place Playspace has been completed under the NSW Government’s Local Small Commitments Allocation Program.

“This upgrade represents a new chapter for Murrumbooee Place, where it can continue to be a beloved space where local families and the community can continue to enjoy the playspace safely,” Member for Gosford Liesl Tesch said.

“Thank you to Tascott local and wonder mum, Hannah Gibbins, who first brought this playground to my attention in 2022, raising awareness about the need for this upgrade.

“I am so glad that the NSW Government Local Small Commitments Allocation Program has allowed Council to complete this amazing upgrade, with the new playspace meaning Coasties can continue to enjoy the area for generations to come.

“The new playspace, complete with sensory play, rubber softfall and seating will mean that this popular playground for our local community is back and better than ever before.”

Central Coast Mayor, Lawrie McKinna said Council managed and maintained more than 270 playspaces across the region and said they were the heart of neighbourhoods.

“Council’s ongoing investment into new and upgraded spaces is high priority,” he said.

“Council invested $50,000 to upgrade the Murrumbooee Place playspace, and thanks the NSW Government for their contribution to this important community project.

“This upgrade has resulted in a positive outcome for the community, delivering a fun, innovative and high-quality outdoor space where children of all ages can play and connect.”
