New playground takes shape at Lake

Orange Council

Crews are busy this week installing the latest element of the $1.3 million Lake Canobolas upgrade: a new playground on the eastern shores of the lake.

The new $215 thousand playground is being installed by specialist company Creative Recreation Solutions.

Once the play equipment has been assembled, a team of concreters will be adding a pathway through the playground and a boundary edge to the new area.

A rubber play surface will then be installed under the equipment together with soft-fall material.

Large poles to hold the new overhead shade sails are set to be installed in the coming days.

Among new features on the western side of the lake, a few floating pontoon has been installed next to the concrete boat ramp used by dragon-boat teams.

The $1.3 million Lake Canobolas upgrade project is being funded by:

  • NSW Government Places to Swim – Open Spaces program $1 million
  • NSW Government Stronger Country Communities program $344K
  • Orange City Council $34K
  • Cadia Valley Operations $6,500
