Revamp for popular Pirate Playground

Work to upgrade Noosaville’s popular Pirate Playground will begin next month promising to deliver a boatload of new fun for local and visiting children.

The major upgrade includes three open-air slides and a tunnel slide, climbing walls, a flying fox, monkey bars, interactive panels, a large arched climbing net and a swing basket.

Noosa Council Project Officer Dallas Bickley said thousands of children visited the Gympie Terrace park annually, and the new-look playground would offer them greater enjoyment.

“The existing liberty swing will stay as an important feature of the new-look playground,” he said.

Works will begin on 27 April. The park will be closed, and fenced off, for approximately five weeks while the new playground is built.

All work will be undertaken Monday to Friday only.

“Council appreciates parents’ patience during construction. The new-look playground will be worth the wait,” Mr Bickley said.
