WORK on a $2.8 million parkland upgrade on the Gold Coast is well underway, with Council revealing stunning artist impressions of a new playground for the first time.
The "world-class adventure playground" at Country Paradise Parklands in Nerang is currently undergoing major construction and is set to be completed by November this year.
Works to construct the new playground and surrounding parklands are reaching the halfway mark, and upon completion will cater to the recreational needs of the growing population of Nerang and beyond.
Mayor Tom Tate said the project was a welcome cash injection in the north-western corridor.
“Residents of Nerang and surrounds can rejoice with works well underway to transform part of Country Paradise Parklands into an exciting space for children of all ages and abilities to play, learn and explore,” he said.
“This project is about supporting the green behind the gold. The population of Nerang is set to double over the next 20 years, so it is important we have infrastructure in place to help meet current and future demand for recreational facilities like this.
“The adventure playground has been designed to incorporate elements of the site’s history and features an 11.5 metre windmill structure with an adjoining slide, a water tank tunnel, and a creek bed with water-play features.
“We are also upgrading half a hectare of surrounding parklands into picnic areas with barbeque facilities.”
Upgrades will also be made to the existing bathroom facilities, footpaths, and car parking – which will double to more than 100 spaces.
Country Paradise Parklands covers 12 hectares with sprawling grounds that feature stables and a large paddock for the Healing Hooves program, a community garden, a large hall, a workshop for the local Men's Shed and a large oval for events.
