Ernest Wright Playground upgrade
We’re improving this popular neighbourhood playground in Newtown for everyone to enjoy.
Project Status: In progress
Works start in late February 2023 and are expected to be completed in around 3 months, weather permitting. Works will take place from 7:30am to 5pm, Monday to Friday.
What we’re doing
Upgrading Ernest Wright Playground in Newtown will improve the reserve for everyone to enjoy.
The upgrade includes:
- new playground equipment and rubber softfall
- a paved accessible path and timber boundary fence
- gardens and edging
- new benches and a bubbler.
The playground will be closed during the works. The nearest playgrounds in Newtown are:
- Camperdown Memorial Rest Park Playground, Federation Road, Lennox and Church streets
- Hollis Park Playground 168-184 Wilson Street
- Goddard Playground 39-43 O'Connell Street.
While we’ll take steps to minimise other impacts on you, there’ll be some machinery noise. Parking may be impacted due to access requirements for construction materials and equipment.
