We have an exciting new upgrade planned for Uki’s Sweetnam Park.
While we’ve included a new playground and a half basketball court based on previous feedback from the Uki community, the design isn’t set in stone. We want to hear your ideas for additional features. We also know you’re keen on incorporating public art and showcasing local artists.
By partnering with the local community, we aim to revitalise and modernise the park to create a recreational space that’s more inclusive of everyone, with better play equipment and park facilities.
The park upgrade will also improve its resilience to future weather events.
The draft concept plan will be on public exhibition from 11 September to 27 October 2024.
You can also join us for a FREE breakfast and kid's activities at Sweetnam Park on Sunday 22 September from 9am to 11am to discuss your ideas with Council staff and provide feedback on the draft plan.
Here's a glimpse of what’s proposed
New play equipment for 2- to 13 year olds
Nature play elements, including a cubby and climbing net
Half basketball court for youth
Small scale skate elements
Seating and drinking fountain
Picnic table and shelter
Connecting pathways
Informal car park
Landscaping and tree planting
Why it’s happening?
During the February 2022 flood, floodwater inundated the park, causing substantial damage to the park. The upgrade of Sweetnam Park is a high priority in Council’s Open Space Strategy 2019-2029.
Mail to Manager, Parks and Active Communities, Tweed Shire Council, PO Box 816, Murwillumbah, NSW 2484.
