THE newest play equipment at Heritage Park in Mullumbimby is bringing climbs and smiles to local children.<\/p>\n

The ‘spider web’ was designed to test the climbing skills of older children and encourage agility and activity.<\/p>\n

The refurbishment project also installed additional seating and a new pathway and boardwalk through the park and along the river, which links the Brunswick Terrace entrance to the Mill Street playground.<\/p>\n

Byron Shire Council’s Coordinator Open Space Jim Roberts said the work was identified in the Heritage Park Landscape Masterplan.<\/p>\n

The installation was part of the $850,000 upgrade of Heritage Park, which also included other features designed to encourage imaginative and nature-based play.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
