A NEW two-and-a-half-acre park, with adventure playground, is set to be established in Lucas.<\/p>\n
Designed for young explorers, the playground will include a seven-metre-tall climbable birds nest tower with ropes, ladders, and nets, a monkey puzzle tree, a bamboo playhouse, a Bellevue tower with bridges and adjoining rooms, large tunnel and small slides, swings, a sand pit and digger, and kick and play space.<\/p>\n
Landscape works will soon begin at the site, which is next to the future Loreto College Lucas campus on Cuthberts Road.<\/p>\n
Integra project development manager Darren Trigg said the tailored playground and its surrounds could rival what\u2019s on offer at Lucas Central Park.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe new Lucas Park further expands on the connected community at Lucas,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith proximity to the Ballarat-Skipton rail trail and the walking and rail trails that link through the Lucas open space corridor, the new park will be a key destination for families.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe new park with its natural wood features, extensive planting, open spaces, areas for relaxation and some world-first play equipment, compliments the seven existing playgrounds located throughout Lucas.<\/p>\n
\u201cIntegra are excited to be able to introduce a new inclusive, active, and enticing space for kids and parents of all ages which will further enhance the vibrant Lucas community.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hundreds of oak, elm, gum, and maple trees, thousands of flax, callistemon, correas, coastal rosemary, and woolly tea-tree plants, and grasses, will be planted in the park, and picnic tables, benches, seats, rubbish bins, a drinking fountain, and shelter will be installed throughout.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
