Wagga Wagga City Council is seeking your help to transform designated parkland in Estella into a fun space to explore, socialise and play.
Council Project Supervisor (Playgrounds) John Conlan says the new parkland will be a great asset to the Estella community.
“We’re inviting local residents to help shape these outdoor spaces,” Mr Conlan said.
“Let us know what kind of green space, sporting and play facilities you would like in your neighbourhood, so we can create a park that will be enjoyed by the community.”
There are two parks being developed over the next two years that Council would like input on.
The first area is 1.67 hectares, running along Avocet Drive, bounded by Monarch Avenue. This space has some beautiful district views, but also significant slopes.
“It’s on a hill, and it’s a very rocky block, which limits what you can do. We’ll probably keep that area as more natural, open space,” Mr Conlan said.
Some of the infrastructure and amenities that could be included are a shelter with table settings and a bubbler, bench seats along an accessible concrete path, irrigated turf and advanced native trees planted throughout.
Potential ideas include Ninja Warrior style fitness equipment, a lookout tower, a BMX trail, a nature play area or a flying fox. This site is not suitable for a water park.
The second site being developed is 1.44 hectares along Comet Place. This site will be a suburban-sized park with a playground.
“This block is flatter, more accessible and will be more central to the new housing development,” Mr Conlan said.
“It’s suited to a playground and more sporting and recreational equipment, depending on what the community wants.”
Some examples could be a 10m x 15m basketball/netball court, combination goal posts, a cricket pitch with a practice cage or fitness stations. It’s likely to have a picnic shelter, BBQ, bubbler and unisex accessible toilet.
A water park will not be considered at this location.
Council is calling on the community to contribute their ideas and preferences to create two new parks that will be enjoyed by the community for years to come.
