Plenty of nature play opportunities and grassed areas along with modern play equipment and sculptures are now ready for local families to enjoy at the brand new, $370,000 Narara Valley Precinct Park.

The new park and playground on Willari Avenue in Narara will be opened by Central Coast Council next Thursday afternoon 28 July 2016 with a community get together and barbecue between 3.30pm and 5pm.

Council’s Group Leader of Customer and Community Relationships Judy Jaeger said it was pleasing to see that the Narara Valley community now has access to the precinct park it deserves.

“With the new Narara Valley Precinct Park funded from the sale of the area’s old community hall, this is a great example of how Council is reinvesting funds back into vital community services and facilities, “ Ms Jaeger said.

“The spacious, multi-use playground is located in a large reserve with plenty of open space for recreational and group activities.

“We’re very proud of the playground’s strong focus on nature play and the highly vegetated environment the park provides for children to explore.”

Narara Valley Precinct Park offers great accessibility for a broad range of ages and capabilities, as well as fantastic complementary facilities including public amenities, barbecues and picnic furniture.

“This new park and playground truly has been a collaborative community effort, with over 200 local residents leaving their mark on the facility either via hand printing in the pathways or tree planting,” Ms Jaeger added.

“We’d like to see as many people from the Narara Valley area down at the community get together next week to celebrate this wonderful piece of community infrastructure.”
