McDonald Park playground at Albion Park Rail has been completed in time for the spring school holidays. 

The park masterplan was completed on 10 September, with the addition of a workout bench, air walker and balancing beam. 

The play space incorporates a variety of graded play opportunities suitable for a range of ages and abilities. 

The McDonald Park playground was designed and installed by Creative Recreation Solutions Pty Ltd and includes a diverse range of activities for children to explore.  

The project was supported by NSW State Government, with a $250,000 grant provided from NSW Governments Stronger Country Communities Fund. 

The park facilities include a learn to ride course, pump track, ninja warrior park, activity tower with a slide, a nature play trail, carousal, climbing equipment and picnic shelters for families. 

The public toilet amenities have also been upgraded to include an accessible public toilet block. 

Shellharbour City Mayor Marianne Saliba said the park was important as it provided a space for recreation, respite and relaxation. 

“The McDonald Park playground was designed and developed through public consultation and is an impressive new play facility,” Cr Saliba said. 

“Parks and public playgrounds remain open during lockdown however it is advised that parents take more caution that usual and should stay 1.5m away from people from different households and if the park is crowded, to come back at another time,” said.
