Mr Chester also said, "The playground features some indigenous-themed attractions along with a water play area, flying fox, swings, slides and picnic facilities. It links in well with the new artwork and first stage of the all-abilities accessible Krauatungalung Walk project, which showcases our region's heritage and provides outdoor exercise opportunities for all ages. I visited the playground over the weekend, and there were plenty of positive comments from parents and happy screams and laughter from children."
