New Bilambil Heights playground vandalised says Tweed Council

The anticipated playground was set to open in June but now vandals have created a cruel setback for the site.

Before Bilambil Heights kids could even get their first swing, vandals have wrecked an upcoming playground says Tweed Shire Council.

The under-construction playground on the corners of Coral St and Terranora Parade was vandalised on Tuesday night, according to Tweed Shire Council press release.

The vandals reportedly sprayed paint across the site, on the ground and on contractor’s site equipment.

Graffiti sprayed across the new playground currently under construction at the corner of Coral Street and Terranora Parade at Bilambil Heights.

Tweed Shire Council’s Acting Manager Parks and Active Communities Murray Smith said it was a disheartening attack.

“The new park will become the main playground for local kids who are looking forward to its opening,” Mr Smith said.

“This vandalism wastes people’s time and costs money to clean up.

“It’s disappointing someone in the community would do this, given the years of collaboration between local residents and Council to redesign this park.”

The new playground was due to open in June.

Council workers will remove the graffiti and resume construction of the playground as soon as possible but council is now seeking those responsible.
