The Mary Carroll Park upgrade is complete with the playground now open!
Background
Mary Carroll Park is recognised internationally as an important refuge for migratory birds, providing habitat for breeding, roosting and nesting for various species. The wetlands are a living classroom which teach people about their environmental importance, strong community connection, and history of the Gosnells area. The vision is to see Mary Carroll Park recognised as an important environmental asset which will be an extraordinary place for the community to live, students to learn and visitors to experience.
To achieve this vision, the City is:
- Creating a Welcome to Country area, as developed in the 2013 Mary Carroll Park Visioning Plan
- Installing a new all-abilities, all ages playground
And has recently completed:
- Construction of a new all ages, all abilities playground
- Installing two new pedestrian bridges and a viewing platform
- New Changing Places facility, accessible toilets and storage for the Friends of Mary Carroll Group
- Upgrading existing car park on Eudoria Street to meet accessible standards
Eudoria Street Hub
The City has created the new Eudoria Street Hub which showcases the rich culture and history of the surrounds and creating an area which enables greater learning about our local Aboriginal culture.
The Hub includes a new all ages, all abilities playground which contains equipment for everyone no matter your age or skill set. Custom play equipment and nature play aspects highlight the natural beauty of the wetlands. The fitness equipment is suited for adults to assist with movement and mobility.
Upgrades include signage, a path network, lighting, additional picnic areas with shade shelters and a Changing Places and accessible public toilets.
