Residents of all ages can swing into spring with an upgraded playground at Woodcroft Reserve.
The $112,000 refurbishment is a part of Blacktown City Council's 2019/20 parks upgrade program.
Blacktown City Mayor, Tony Bleasdale OAM said, "Blacktown City's young – and young at heart – can now enjoy the new playground at Woodcroft Reserve.
"It's been hard for many of our residents to stay active during this difficult time, and for parents with children, it's even more of a challenge.
"This wonderful new play area creates an exciting, purpose-built space for families to get out and enjoy themselves.
"We have nearly 800 parks and reserves across Blacktown City, and Council is committed to providing the best possible recreation facilities for our residents," Mayor Bleasdale said.
The upgraded playground in Woodcroft Reserve now features a variety of equipment, including a flying fox, three swings (including a toddler seat and basket seat), a trampoline, a spinner, a rocker, and a multi-play unit with climbing elements and a slide.
New trees have been planted to provide shade and there's extra benches provided for seating.
Overlooking beautiful Lake Woodcroft, the playground is situated next to Blacktown City's award-winning Woodcroft Neighbourhood Centre.
Council conducted a period of online community consultation last year before settling on the final design for the new playground.
The refurbishment is part of Council's current $448,000 program of playground upgrades in across Blacktown City.
