About the park
Council is upgrading Saddle Way Park in Murwillumbah to create a neighbourhood park that is more inclusive of everyone in the community, with better play equipment and park facilities. The park upgrade will also improve its resilience to future weather events.
What's proposed?
new play equipment for 2 to 13 years
scooter loop
new basket swing
nature play
accessible drinking fountain
picnic table and shelter
landscaping and tree planting for natural shade
Why it’s happening?
The existing playground was damaged in a severe weather event in 2022 and the play equipment has reached the end of its life.
Have your say

Online: fill in the short community survey below, or
Face to face: Attend a family friendly pop-up in the park on Saturday 11 May from 9 am to 11 am.
