Buttenshaw Park upgrade
Great progress on Buttenshaw Park upgrade
9 November 2022
Despite wet weather interruptions earlier on in the construction process, earthworks are well underway and the new play space is taking shape. The team are currently working on stormwater drainage and preparing for concreting which will start from next week.
With a double flying fox and group swing; a unique, customised climbing and hang out structure; and a climbing and bouldering wall all part of the park designs, this is going to be a great new youth-focussed play space when work wraps up in March next year (weather permitting)!
This project is funded under the Western Parkland City Liveability Program, which is part of the Western Sydney City Deal (WSCD). The WSCD is a 20 year-agreement between Australian and NSW governments, and the eight local Councils of the Western Parkland City.
