The new Lakes Entrance foreshore playground, funded by $1.6 million secured by Darren Chester, has been well-received, featuring indigenous-themed attractions, water play, and access to the Krauatungalung Walk.
Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester says locals and visitors have given the new Lakes Entrance foreshore playground their approval, with huge numbers of families appreciating the project, which opened on Friday. "The hard-working team at Pearce Cameron in Bairnsdale has produced an outstanding playground on the foreshore, with $1.6 million I secured from the previous federal government."

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."
