Giant adventure playground set to be built in Casula

23 August 2018

Casula Parklands will soon be transformed into South West Sydney’s most exciting adventure playground, with an eight-metre tall Sky Walk, tunnel slide, flying fox and ninja training circuit.

Construction of the $4m project, near Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre, will begin in late September 2018.

“I’m so excited about this development – this will be the best adventure playground ever built in Liverpool,” Mayor Wendy Waller said.

“Not only is this great news for the residents of Casula, but people will come from miles around to enjoy it.”

The 15-hectare site will also include an off-leash dog park, sculpture walk, picnic facilities, accessible play area, toilet facilities and off-road parking.

“Playgrounds and parklands play a vital role in the social and economic life of our growing city so it’s crucial that we get them right,” Mayor Waller said.

“Council is committed to making the banks of the Georges River more accessible for residents, with more playgrounds and walkways along the foreshore.

“This area was the site of an old golf course, and it will now be transformed into a regional parkland for everyone to enjoy.”

Casula Parklands Adventure Playspace is one of more than 250 parks and open spaces in the local government area that Council maintains, as well as 22 outdoor gyms.

Works will commence in late September 2018 and are anticipated to be completed by June 2019, with works progressively re-opened to the public upon completion.
