The wet play area at Cedric Archer Park is set to undergo a full clean and reseal from next week, thanks to Rockhampton Regional Council local contractors, Benchmark Asset and Maintenance.

Parks, Sport and Public Spaces Councillor, Cherie Rutherford, said the maintenance work would keep the play area in top shape.

“We know that thousands of people have enjoyed this fabulous wet play area since it opened in 2017, and it’s a real gem for Gracemere.

“Areas like these need ongoing maintenance to keep them in shape, and that’s what we are doing here.

“We will be giving the area a deep clean, as well as resealing the ground surface.

“As always we try to use local contractors, and I’m delighted Benchmark Asset and Maintenance – based right here in our region – will be doing this work for us.”

Divisional Councillor Ellen Smith said the play area was well loved by local residents.

“It really is a wonderful spot for families.

“As the temperatures drop in the winter it gets used a bit less, so it’s a perfect time to get this maintenance work done.

“The area will be closed from Monday 24 May for a couple of weeks, and we thank everyone for their patience while these improvements are made.”
