The City has started construction on the new all ages, all-abilities playground as part of the Eudoria Street Hub.

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:

• Installing two new pedestrian bridges and a new viewing platform
• New Changing Places facility, accessible toilets and storage for the Friends of Mary Carroll Group
• Upgrade to existing car park on Eudoria Street to meet accessible standards

Eudoria Street Hub

The City plans to create the new Eudoria Stree Hub. The Hub will showcase the rich culture and history of the area and creating an area which enables greater learning about our local Aboriginal culture.

The area will also include a new all ages, all-abilities playground which will contain equipment for everyone no matter your age or skill set. Custom play equipment and nature play aspects will highlight the natural beauty of the wetlands.

Upgrades will include signage, a path network, lighting, additional picnic areas with shade shelters and a Changing Places and accessible public toilets.

The City has completed consultation on the installation of two pedestrian bridges and a viewing platform at the Park, as well as the Eudoria Street Hub and all ages, all abilities play area.
