LITTLETON Park, Gatton and Lions Park, Laidley will soon look better than ever, all thanks to a funding injection from the State Government.

Lockyer Valley Regional Council’s Parks and Gardens Portfolio Councillor Anthony Wilson said works would soon begin on the upgrades.

“We’re looking to kick off in March with a full removal and replacement of the current playgrounds,” Cr Wilson said.

“Thanks to the all Australian-made equipment, the playgrounds will encourage physical, cognitive, social, and emotional play opportunities for all ages and abilities, while both playgrounds will also feature new equipment and shade sails,” he said.

Cr Wilson said Council was excited to create even more to see and do.

“Delivering improvements to Council’s suite of playgrounds is one of the ways we’re working towards building an active and healthy region.

“We’re working hard to improve our lifestyle and want to see our youngest residents enjoying all the Lockyer Valley has to offer.

“Play is a vital part of childhood. Children need green spaces, and it’s great to announce these upgrades because we want our community to have access to high-quality, innovative playgrounds.”

Council thanks the community for its patience and cooperation throughout the construction period.
