Status: In progress

Cost and funding: $200,000 from Eurobodalla Council Riverside Park Improvements fund.

Project details

We are working to:

  • replace the existing flying fox and associated timber structure and install a new flying fox in the playground
  • install safety fencing along the extent of the playground adjoining Ford Street and the Riverside Park car park
  • relocate some existing seating (if necessary)
  • install two new covered picnic settings and BBQs in the park.

Benefits to the community:

  • the popular flying fox facility will be upgraded to increase safety
  • new covered seating and BBQ facilities will better accommodate the park's growing number of visitors.

Background and purpose

Following a recent routine inspection, it was recommended that the existing flying fox and associated structure be replaced for safety reasons.

Riverside Park has previously been identified as requiring additional public seating options and BBQ facilities due to the popularity and high usage of the park. As part of the improvement to the park, new covered picnic settings and BBQ facilities will also be installed.
